Piles of building rubble have been found illegally dumped in Inverkeithing.

Fife Council's Safer Communities team found the debris on North Road, heading towards the town.

Officers sourced cones from the roads department to block off the area in case of a driver running into the pile while parking in the lay-by.

They further stressed exactly what to do if you come across illegal dumping, writing on Facebook: "Don't touch the waste - it may contain syringes, toxic chemicals or other hazardous substances.

"Don't disturb the site - there may be evidence that could help identify the fly tippers and lead to their prosecution.

"Visually try to work out what the waste consists of and how much there is.

"Make a note of the day, date and time you saw the waste, its exact location and whether it's in or near water.

"Take a photo if it's safe and possible to do so."
