Environmental rangers are continuing to hunt for rogue fly-tippers after a huge amount of waste was dumped on a roadside.
The town's council is appealing for help to catch the culprits after a number of incidents along Hobland Road in Browston where more than 130 bags of building materials were dumped in recent months.
But a Great Yarmouth councillor fears finding those responsible is challenging due to the majority of waste being unidentifiable and that more prosecutions are needed to act as a deterrent.

Mike Smith-Clare, county councillor for Yarmouth Nelson & Southtown division, said: "Fly-tipping is still a problem for many of our local residents and is most certainly a blight on our community environments.
"I'm regularly reporting dumped items, including those with names and addresses on although in so many cases it's just unidentifiable rubbish.
"With tip costs being removed, I'm hoping that this perennial problem will be reduced.
"But to ultimately win this battle then we need better education and more prosecutions."

Efforts to continue to find the Browston 'binners' and the council urge anyone with information to come forward.
Officials believe there is a "high possibility" it came from a builder or tradesperson, as the waste mainly contained materials like plasterboard, empty silicone containers, insulation, tiles and rubble.

The latest figures showed there were more than 10,000 fly-tipping incidents recorded in Norfolk in 2021/2022.
But just 68 of the litter louts were handed fines during this period.
In Yarmouth, less than half of all investigations resulted in penalty notices or warnings.
Mr Wells added: "Great Yarmouth has one of the best records for enforcement on environmental crimes in the whole of Norfolk.
"While targeted patrols are carried out, the Rangers cannot be everywhere at once, therefore they rely on other evidence, including public tip-offs, to help target the right individuals."
Anyone with information about fly-tipping is asked to contact the environmental rangers at Great Yarmouth Borough Council via 01493 846478 or health@great-yarmouth.gov.uk.
