It appears as though people had left their empty bottles and packaging next to overflowing bins – leaving the roaming animals free to tuck in.

They said: “I get infuriated by it. I was quite horrified. There was stuff strewn all over the grass.

“People just fill the bins to capacity and then chuck stuff around them. I came across quite a few broken bottles, and even some nitrous oxide canisters.

“You can hear the cows going through the glass in the bins.

“But I spoke to one woman who also comes here quite a lot. She thinks it could have been much worse.
