A false leg and a model skeleton are among the most unusual items to be illegally dumped in Perth and Kinross in the last year.
Both items were found by workers employed by the council’s environmental team.
The revelation comes just weeks after two Perth councillors described the practice as “a scourge” on the Fair City.
Alexander Stewart and his sister, Heather both local councillors claim the problem has been steadily increasing over the past few months.
The council is now planning to introduce an online reporting system to help them better tackle the problem.
A spokeswoman said: “We take education and awareness raising as a key focus for preventing fly-tipping in Perth and Kinross.
“Our waste services regularly give talks to schools about littering, in which fly-tipping is covered, discussing the environmental impact of waste ending up in the wrong place and natural resources lost when things are not reused or recycled.
“Community talks are also undertaken across the area focusing not only on the environmental effect of fly-tipping but also the social and economic impacts.
“While the majority of fly-tipping comprises standard household waste, our waste collection teams do from time to time encounter unusual items, such as a prosthetic leg and a model skeleton.
“As part of the council’s litter action plan, it is intended that web-based recording tools will be explored, to help build up a local picture of ‘hot spots’ and target our resources accordingly to them.”
It is not known exactly how much fly-tipping costs the Perth and Kinross public, as the council uses its street sweeping budget which is £3 million for this year to deal with it.
Environment committee convener Alan Grant said: “Fly-tipping can easily be avoided, helping to protect our environment and reduce nuisance to our communities from waste dumped in the wrong place.
“Our staff are continuing to work hard to push the message that there are lots of alternatives without resorting to fly-tipping. We would always encourage residents to contact us if they need advice on how to safely dispose of a wide variety of waste items.”
