Here are the first examples of fly tipping in Shropshire sent in after we appealed for visitors to contribute. Keep sending in your photos.

Do readers have any more examples of fly-tipping? We'd love to see them to help build up a detailed picture of fly-tipping throughout the county to see just how big a problem it really is.

See our photo gallery below

We are asking readers to get out with their cameras and record all the examples they can find of fly-tipping in Shropshire, so we can see the scale of the problem.We want to map the fly-tipping hotspots and we'll build up a gallery of photos of the best – and worst – examples sent in to us.

So if you've been shocked or angered by rubbish dumped needlessly near you, e-mail your photographs to internet@shropshirestar.co.uk, including your name, address (but let us know if you wish to remain anonymous) and as exact a location as possible for the littered site.

Neil Stanley, from Shifnal, says: "This is one of three trees apparently dumped in Wesley Brook, just across the road from Netherwood Home, Haughton Road, Shifnal. It is disgraceful to spoil such an area and it can not possibly be more than one mile to the tip at Granville."

This second picture from Neil Stanley is more of the same plus other rubble left in a gateway on Haughton Road, Shifnal, but nearer to the service station.

Our contributor says the culprits were seen carrying the chairs from their back garden at 11pm one night and the furniture remained there for a day or so.
