A woman in Coventry resorted to creating an art installation from fly-tipped rubbish near her home, which included "empty bottles filled to the brim with urine", to draw attention to the problem.
Mary Courtney said the waste had accumulated in an alleyway linking Broomfield Road and Kensington Road, despite her repeated reports to the council and local representatives.
After sharing photographs of her art display online, city enforcement officers reportedly cleared the waste the following day. Ms Courtney said local councillor Patricia Hetherton stated the council would consider a prevention plan.
Ms Courtney previously used art to highlight a fly-tipping issue on Albany Road, which was also subsequently removed.
