Amazon bags full of rubbish have been fly-tipped in a field in Swindon for the fifth time this year.

Locals heading into Wanborough spotted the rubbish on Pack Hill on Sunday afternoon, which included orange, black and blue Amazon-branded containers labelled ‘property of Amazon logistics. Not for resale/unauthorised use.’

There were also clear large plastic bags full of what appeared to be household waste, including fizzy drink cans and plastic bottles.

While another said: “Let’s hope that there is no paper trail back to the person that produced the rubbish in the first place or they will be fined.”

But by Tuesday afternoon, the rubbish had been cleared and it appeared the entrance of the field had been blocked by hay bales, leaving information about where the rubbish had come from and who had dumped it there a mystery.

On June 19, the same parcel bags were found at a different spot on Highworth Road, while on July 30, more bags were abandoned on the way into Highworth.

Then there were more bags dumped in the fire lane of Caulfield Road in Gorse Hill at the end of July, before blue and green bags along with rotting food, general waste and maggots were discovered by a member of the public at the beginning of August on Pack Hill, Wanborough

Mike Jackson, a spokesperson for the company, said: "We’re looking into this with our delivery service providers.”
