Large amounts of building and household waste, including asbestos, have been dumped in Leicestershire.
Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council said it is thought the items were fly-tipped at about 17:00 on Kirkby Road, Barwell, on Thursday.
The authority said they suspect the "hazardous" asbestos and other items were dumped by a tradesperson who could have been working in the area.
The council added it is considering installing CCTV due to the area becoming a fly-tipping "hot spot" and has appealed for information.
