Series highlighting the work of environment officers. An officer in Leicestershire tracks the rogue who throws dozens of bags of dog mess into the trees at a local beauty spot.

Filthy Rotten Scoundrels is the series that highlights the work of environment officers across the UK, as they tackle astonishing and flagrant cases of fly-tipping!

An enviro-officer in Leicestershire tracks the rogue who throws dozens of bags of dog mess into the trees at a local beauty spot.

Enforcement officers in Hillingdon, North-West London set up an elaborate sting operation to catch a car-scrapper who has flyposted illegally, right across the borough.

Plus, in Bristol, one man's outrageous 15-year fly-tipping spree comes to an abrupt end, when a local resident catches him in the act on camera. He was jailed for two-and-a-half years.

The hard-working and tenacious officers often go undercover to track down criminals who dump thousands of tons of rubbish on our city streets and country lanes. Investigators call on police back-up for elaborate sting operations, and scan through hours of surveillance footage. More than 3,000 fly-tipping incidents happen each day, costing tax payers 55 million pounds a year to clear up.
