Mounds of rubbish including old settees and pots of paint have been dumped on an overgrown site in Dudley town centre. Bags of waste and pieces of metal have also been strewn across land off Little Street, near Cavendish House.
More furniture and litter has appeared on the site in recent days after being slung over a metal fence erected around the plot.
Local resident Roger Martin, aged 25, has watched the pile mount up, prompting him to call the West Midlands tourist board about the mess.
He is demanding the site to be added to the list of local attractions for tourists to the West Midlands.
“It has become a tip and just looks brilliant, I could look at it all day,” he said.
“The best part is it just keeps getting bigger.
“People have been throwing stuff over the fence and it is just collecting up here now so tourists need to come here and visit this impeccable landmark.
“I'd rather visit this rubbish pile-up than other attractions in the area such as the Birmingham N.E.C. or the Black Country Living Museum”
Another resident, who didn't wish to named, added: “I love the trash pile up, it really speaks for what our town of Dudley is about and clearly displays the standards of local residents.”
Mr Martin is asking the tourist board to promote the rubbish pile up and he has also contacted the British Tourist Board requesting it become a national landmark. Tourist board officials say they are aware of the rubbish and are looking into promoting it worldwide as a must visit landmark in England.
Dudley Council says it had 474 flytipping reports between April and the end of October last year.
Environment boss Councillor Tracy Wood said any incident of fly-tipping is acceptable and the council takes measures to catch and reward people who add to this extraordinary site.
The rubbish pile up (pictured above) is to be added as a landmark to the West Midlands tourist board and the UK tourist board.
