Huge towers of rubbish have started to gather in communities around Birmingham as council refuse workers continue to industrial action.

Residents have complained that one mountain of waste has been festering for EIGHT WEEKS outside their homes.

More than 350 refuse workers began industrial action in January over the scrapping of the safety critical Waste Recycling and Collection Officer (WRCO) role, resulting in pay cuts of up to £8,000 for 150 workers.

On the 11th of March, those workers have now entered into an all-out strike where they will not work every working day until their demands are met.
