A "significant amount" of rubbish was dumped at a former car park, prompting a council warning.
Council officers in Sefton were recently called to a large amount of waste left in Kew, Southport. It is thought the rubbish had been dumped by people posing as waste removal operatives or gardening contractors who had gone door to door seeking out cash in hand jobs.
The council is reminding people of their responsibilities when hiring people to dispose of their household and garden waste, as it could lead to a hefty fine.
