The Council has introduced a new roving CCTV camera to help further tackle fly-tipping across the city.
The camera has been brought in following an incident over the summer when oil drums were dumped on Hollyfast Lane.
The industrial scale of the fly-tipped drums meant that the Council had to resurface the road because of the damage caused.
At the time it was described as one of the worst cases of industrial crime.
Cllr John McNicholas, Cabinet Member for Community Safety and Cohesion at Coventry City Council, promised to address the issue.
He said: “At the time I was horrified at the scale of the mess and damage caused. I said we had to tackle the issue head-on. We had to find a way of getting a camera available, and we have found a solution.
“This really shocked us all, and I’m delighted that we now have a roving camera that we can use at key locations where there are issues with getting a permanent camera in place.
“The roving camera will be used in a tactical way and will be a great support to our work to remove the blight of fly-tipping from communities across the city. At the same time, we encourage residents to report details of fly-tipping when they see it.”
