Eight Chesterfield Litter Pickers volunteers went out to clean an area between Mastin Moor and Mill Lane on Sunday, September 13.
The group were shocked to find over 40 dog food bags filled with faeces near the M1 bridge.
Commenting on the disgusting discovery, Lee Brassington, who launched the award-winning litter picking group, said: “It was unbelievable.
"Someone had dumped more than 40 dog-food bags full of it – 30 in one pile in the farmer’s field by the M1 bridge, with another 10 randomly dumped along the road.
“What is wrong with people?
"We had no choice but to empty the bags where we found them.
"The smell was absolutely horrendous, and my gloves are going straight in the bin!”
During the litter pick, the hard-working volunteers removed 34 bags of waste including nine bags of ‘foam/polystyrene’ substance thrown into the brambles, car tyres and a speaker.
The group collected around 750 cans, which weighed 12.25 kilograms.
10 blister packs, eight 8 NOS canisters and 11 vapes were also found.
In total, the rubbish and the the fly-tip collected weighed 200 kg.
Lee added: “We did manage to clear the whole road, removing everything we found, including two tyres and a large speaker.
"Well done to everyone involved for going above and beyond yet again.”
