Hundreds of "pro-active" patrols have been conducted at fly-tipping hotspots in Renfrewshire as a task force bids to stop illegal dumping at the source.
A total of 679 visits to identified problem areas have been completed since the bespoke unit became operational in December, with 215 tonnes of waste removed and 35 fines handed out.
A breakdown of the data was included in a report to Tuesday's communities and housing policy board, which provided an update on efforts to clamp down on the behaviour in the local authority area.
