Dumfries and Galloway council is urging against fly-tipping, which it says is becoming an increasing problem in the region.
It has warned that those dumping rubbish illegally could face prosecution, and is asking people to use one of the council's recycling centres instead.
A steep increase in fines for fly-tipping in Scotland appears to have had little effect in Dumfries and Galloway, according to the local authority.
The introduction of a £200 fixed fine - up from £80 previously - reduced incidents of fly-tipping by just 3% last year.
Dumfries and Galloway council is launching a campaign to make people more aware, and says there is no need to dump rubbish illegally as the region has many recycling centres available.
