Several caravans and about 20 tonnes of rubbish have been fly-tipped near an industrial estate.
The waste, at Chemical Lane, Newcastle-under-Lyme, is due to be cleared later by councils and a metal recycler.
Describing it as a "major and costly incident", the authorities said the clean-up should be done in a day but the road would be temporarily closed.
The borough council added it was considering installing CCTV cameras in the area to try and stop further fly-tipping.
