Peka regularly visits the site on Ihumātao Rd adjoining the Ōtuataua Stonefields Reserve to check for people drinking - in breach of the area's liquor ban. Peka took photos late last month of rubbish piled as high as the trees between Ellets Beach access and the Ihumātao stonefields. Photo: Stuff / Stephen ForbesThe rubbish in Peka's photos includes everything from commercial waste and furniture to tyres, mattresses, pallets, timber and household rubbish on the side of the road in Ihumātao. Eckersley said members of the public should register any complaints about illegal dumping by calling 0800 NO DUMP(0800 663 867).
