The bins have been placed outside shops and bus stops in in Peacehaven, East Sussex, and people have been rushing around the town trying to spot them all.
Locals have got no idea who painted the bins to look like Minions - and even attached trademark goggle-eyes and arms.
The rubbish bins, dubbed 'Binions', have been spotted everywhere from outside shops to park benches and bus stops. The cheeky characters were painted the distinctive Minion yellow faces and blue dungarees, DailyExpress reported.
"These bins have certainly drawn attention and brought comments and smiles from people passing by.
"Anything that encourages people to use the litter bins provided is a good thing as we want to keep the district clean and tidy for all to enjoy," said a spokesperson from Lewes District Council.
The council says it hopes the decorated bins will encourage people in the town to be tidy and throw their rubbish away.
Since they first appeared on screen in 2010, the Minions have become something of a phenomenon, with millions of Minion-themed toys on sale and their dungarees and goggles becoming the fancy dress costume of choice for many fans.
