A SUSPECT flytipper was caught on camera discarding rubbish on the site of an Ibrox road today, prompting an appeal for information by the Council.

The person, who has a "distinctive" black and white hairstyle, was photographed seemingly dumping a number of items onto a grassy patch at the junction between Kintra Street and Brighton Street.

The pictures show them unloading a wooden pallet and a large piece of fabric, together with other objects, from a red car, and placing them on the ground.

"Hope you are able to do something about it."

Glasgow City Council retweeted the images, asking users to get in touch if they recognised the flytipper.

They wrote: "Do you know who this person with distinctive black & white hairstyle, driving what might be a red Opel Meriva?

"Our environmental health team would like to speak him about this incident."

A spokesman for the Council told the Glasgow Times: “A member of the public used social media to highlight to us an alleged fly-tipping incident in the Ibrox area and we subsequently appealed to the public for further information so we could investigate this incident properly.

“Our environmental health team has the power to investigate fly-tipping incidents and issue fines against those responsible for dumping waste illegally.

“Fly-tipping is an environmental crime that undermines communities and significant public resources are used to clear up and dispose of this type of waste.

“If anyone has any information in relation to the incident on the corner of Kintra Street and Brighton Street we urge them to contact our environmental health team.”

Figures obtained through an FOI request earlier this year showed that Glasgow is the worst area for flytipping in Scotland. 

Of the 30 councils which provided responses to requests, a total of 134,974 fly-tipping incidents were reported since September 2019 nation-wide.

Glasgow City Council reported the highest number of incidents with 48,539, followed by Edinburgh with 25,717.

Flytipping incidents can be reported to the Council by phone or online.

Someone convicted of flytipping could be fined up to £40,000 and/or imprisoned for up to 12 months, according to the Scottish Government website.
