Rubbish dumped by the side of the A928 near the Perthshire-Angus border.
It appears if you want to get away with fly-tipping, dump your rubbish illegally in Perth and Kinross or neighbouring Angus.
New figures have revealed no enforcement action has been taken against dumpers despite 462 incidents in Perth and Kinross in 2013-14 and 471 in 2014-15.
Those caught fly-tipping can face a £40,000 fine or imprisonment but Perth and Kinross Council said it has “no dedicated enforcement officers”.
The council has now been told to “stop skimping on prevention” and get tough on fly-tippers who are blighting communities.
North East Scotland MSP Alex Johnstone said: “We simply cannot tolerate this and fly-tippers have to be aware that there are severe penalties for what they do.”
