A man has promised to clean up his act after being caught by a novel way to tackle fly-tipping by using crime scene tape.
Walsall Council's new project saw the tape used around a pile of rubbish that was dumped on Whitehall Road and just a day later the culprit's landlord came forward.
The man has been given seven days to resolve the issue before criminal charges will be brought, said a spokesman for the council, reported BirminghamLive.
