About 50 firefighters have worked overnight tackling a huge fire at a Greater Manchester recycling plant.
The blaze started at about 21:00 BST at the recycling centre in Bredbury in Stockport, next to a Morrisons supermarket and near the M60 motorway.
A fire service spokesman said the fire involved large bales containing recyclable materials and was spread over a 100m by 100m area.
It caused congestion on the M60 due to its proximity to the road.
The fire service said the exit slip road at junction 25 of the M60 was shut.
Firefighters at Bredbury Park Industrial Estate, Stockport Road West, said the fire was "well alight", with the service expecting to remain on the scene for "several days".
'Rapidly developing fire'Sean Booth, from the fire service, said: "There's a smoke plume that's going quite high up in the air and then moving across over to Tameside.
"What I would say to anyone who is travelling on the motorway is to take care when you are in the area."
Several roads have been closed, including Stockport Road West, Crookhilley Way and Old Moor Road.
Mr Booth added: "The workforce were on site when it started, they had just gone for a break.
"When the fire service arrived they met a rapidly developing fire.
"It built up very quickly, and pretty much involved the whole site. Stacks of recycled waste about 5m high are involved in the fire."
