A life-sized ambulance created from dumped fridges and washing machines was erected in two town centres to raise awareness of fly-tipping.
North West Leicestershire District Council's Street Action Team built the fake ambulance using illegally dumped household items in Ashby and Coalville town centres.
The roadshow was part of a campaign highlighting the cost of cleaning up after fly-tippers in the district, where 1,000 incidents are reported each year.
The council's campaign targets hotspots and spells out the penalties for those caught.
Councillor Alison Smith, the council's deputy leader, said fly-tipping was a "blight" on the environment.
The campaign is part of the council's Green Footprints Challenge, which aims to make the district more environmentally-friendly.
