Motorbikes, BBQs and rugs among thousands of pieces of waste pulled from UK rivers | ITV News

We are being submerged in litter. ITV News has been to film the fight against underwater fly-tipping.

The problem is affecting some of our most treasured locations - canals, lakes and rivers.

Many of those struggling against this rising tide of dumping say it’s increasing as culprits realise the water disguises their crime and destroys vital evidence.

We filmed examples on the Walsall Canal where hardworking volunteers with the Canal and River Trust have done a lot to improve the area as a highly treasured public facility.
