A spokesperson for New Forest District Council said: "This fly-tip was reported on Ellingham Drove in Ringwood last month and is currently being investigated.
"Fly-tipping can harm the environment, put wildlife at risk, and create hazards for people.
"To help prevent fly-tipping, if you arrange for someone to remove rubbish on your behalf, please ask to see a waste carrier licence, check the licence number, and make sure you get a receipt.
"To check whether a waste carrier licence number is valid, search online for the Environment Agency's Register of Waste Carriers, Brokers and Dealers."
Anyone with information that could help with the investigation should contact New Forest District Council in confidence at customer.services@nfdc.gov.uk.
