A local volunteer was left shocked after finding more than 100 dog poo bags dumped on the ground during a walk in Devon, England.
Hannah Beaumont regularly walks along the coast picking up rubbish left behind by others to help clean up the environment.
But she posted about her recent smelly discovery on Facebook saying: "102 dog poo bags. Yes you read it correctly, ONE HUNDRED AND TWO."
"Thank goodness I got some more jumbo sized bin bags, who needs weight training!?" she added.
Hannah's huge haul of rubbish from just one walk along the coast
Hannah started the conversation group 'Me and The Plastic Sea' after spotting the amount of litter that was building up across Devon's beaches.
In her post, she said: "Looking at it all in front of me, like every time I lay out my bags, made me feel saddened that people choose to treat the planet this way.
"Please take your rubbish, and your dog's poo bags home with you if you cannot find a bin. You are literally killing the earth and that's that. Stop being lazy."
In just one walk she picked up 102 dog poo bags, a huge pile of wet wipes and tissues, coffee cups, heaps of wrappers, fake flowers, two glass bottles, 16 cans, 9 plastic bottles and "whatever else was stuck to the bottom of the bin bag".
