Fly-tipping hotspots in Renfrewshire are being monitored by CCTV and a special environmental task force in a bid to stop illegal dumping at the source.
The bespoke unit is now conducting daily patrols as the local authority strives to tighten its grip on the issue and catch perpetrators in the act.
The group has been operational since the beginning of December, a report said, with surveillance of identified problem areas well underway.
