Litter pickers say the situation is depressing as the cost of removing dumped rubbish nears £2m.
Social media influencers have been brought in to tackle the problem of fly tipping in Wales, which is at its highest for 15 years.
"It's a great way of being able to target a younger audience by using younger people to grab their attention," said Heledd Roberts, the daughter of a recycling centre owner and one of the group's content creators. Fly-tipping Action Wales, which is sponsored by the Welsh government and partnered with environment body NRW, hopes it will help councils that are spending money on clearance costs instead of "vital services"."By tapping into the social media influencers we had the best reach of any campaign that we've ever run.""They'd rather be spending that money on vital services, which are stretched at the moment," said Mr Harrison.
She said the group of volunteers, who have been litter picking in the area for nearly 10 years, saw "an awful lot of fly tipping".Keep Grangetown Tidy's volunteer litter-pickers like Sara Jones come across a wide selection of fly-tipped items - including this spray tan booth "It takes a while for something to bed in. The council doesn't have much money there should be more enforcement for fly tipping."
