Dalkieth Street in the Birchills area of Walsall has long been a fly-tipping hotspot, with rubbish being spread across 20 meters of its narrow roads. 

In November of this year, the Express & Star visited the site, where residents described their dismay at the growing rubbish heap despite the council removing the waste daily.
