A huge amount of waste, including raw meat, has been dumped at a remote beauty spot.
The degree of fly-tipping in a lay-by on the A635, which is known locally as the Isle of Skye Road, has been criticised by worried residents, who have got in touch with Kirklees Council. The lay-by is a popular fly-tipping spot, where tyres are usually left behind.
A man who took photographs of the dumped waste said there was a huge amount of rotting animal by-products, which was intended as raw food for dogs. The photos were taken around noon on Tuesday, March 19.
He said it was "rotting, smelly, and already being scavenged by wildlife". The heap of discarded waste also features bin bags with the remains of cannabis production.
Waste tipped in a parking area on the A635, near Holmfirth and just inside the Kirklees border (YorkshireLive/MEN)The fly-tipping has been reported to Kirklees Council. Dog owners who use the lay-by have been told to be wary. The complaint about the A635 fly-tipping comes after complaints about waste being dumped in Dalton Bank Road at Dalton, which is closed at the moment because of a landslip.

Worried resident David Hammett believes the road is one of the dirtiest in Kirklees and that the road closure is a good chance for a clean-up operation. But Kirklees thinks it does not have responsibility for the land surrounding Dalton Bank Road.
Last week, a dad has blasted the local council as he claimed his street stinks and resembles a landfill site. Luke Horton shared alarming photos of bulging black bins piling up on his residential road in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. Wheelie bins were left out and, often, uncollected, Mr Horton added.
The father of one has complained to Kirklees Council more than 10 times in the past six months but the authority says, at times, refuse collectors cannot access the street as there are too many parked cars.
