The Environment Agency (EA) are helping in a police investigation after a massive amount of waste was found dumped at a site in Egham recently.
Photos posted by EA on Twitter showed the site on Thorpe Lea Road covered in a deep layer of waste including building materials and household items.
The EA said they were now working on a criminal investigation with Surrey Police to help catch those responsible.
It is believed the illegal dumping happened between June 10-17.
