The image above shows discarded canisters on the A38 in Upton-upon-Severn.
The small containers are legal to buy, and are used as a way to inflate objects such as balloons.
However, in the wrong hands, a ‘high’ can be achieved, sometimes aided by filling a balloon with the dangerous gas to ease administration.
On the community Facebook page Upton Parish Notice Board, members took to airing their frustrations and one member had spotted balloons in the pile.
Von Drinkwater said: “Disgusting - what are people like.”
Karl OJ Godsell said: “What’s the generation coming too.”
Charley E Charley said: “Nitrous oxide can be fatal. I know a friend’s son who died on this it is no joke.”
