Some of the most iconic beaches in Bali have been ruined after being covered in tonnes of ugly rubbish coming from rivers and towns.
Between 30 and 60 tonnes of rubbish are being collected from its best-known beaches including Kuta, Seminyak and Jimbaran every day.
While trash washes up on Bali beaches at this time of year due to Indonesia's monsoon season, authorities believe it is much worse than previous years.
Images of the rubbish piling up and plastic bottles thrown around by nature over the sand have tarnished Bali's tourism industry with images revealing the extent of the problem.
