North East Lincolnshire Council are cracking down on fly-tipping and anti-social behaviour on a road near Aylesby.
The A18, Barton Street, has become popular with fly-tippers.
Multiple reports have been made following large piles of rubbish being dumped in the layby, with some spilling into the neighbouring field.
Numerous reports of anti-social behaviour have also been made.
The council are putting up enhanced signage and working with the landowner to reduce the tree line to make the area less appealing for those committing these crimes.
“Waste should be disposed of in the correct manner and laybys used for the proper reasons. Some may feel signs don’t go far enough, but we must educate as well as prosecute and ensure people understand what is expected of them”, Councillor Henry Hudson said.
The council say cleaning up fly-tipping costs them tens of thousands of pounds every year.
They're urging residents to: report incidents online if they notice any; make sure your waste is being taken away by a registered waste carrier; and to use community recycling centres.
