Photographs shared with the Manchester Evening News show the fly-tipped waste in an alleyway off Chapel Street, between properties on Broom Lane and Garfield Avenue. The grim images show several filled bin bags lining part of the alleyway, alongside boxes, wood and other dumped materials.
Alongside the bags, two severed animal legs can be seen on the ground. Manchester City Council confirmed the fly-tipping incident has been reported to town hall officials today.

Coun Lee-Ann Igbon, executive member for vibrant neighbourhoods, said: "Fly-tipping is unsightly, unhygienic and completely unfair to local residents who dispose of their waste properly, but are left to live in the rubbish left by a selfish minority. This fly-tipped waste been has reported to the council today.
"Our teams have investigated the issue and it has already been referred to our partners at Biffa to action. I would like to thank the residents that reported the problem to us.
"Fly-tipping in our city is unacceptable. We will always investigate waste dumped illegally and we will look to prosecute those who are found guilty."
