Tonnes of rubbish was dumped in a car park that was to house a temporary refuse collection point in Tyseley, Birmingham on Thursday 3rd April morning.

The mountain was several feet wide and 12 feet deep at some areas at Tyseley Community Centre on Formans Road.

People kept dumping their rubbish on the pile despite bin lorries parking up to take the waste.

Panicked residents dumped their trash the night before, hoping to get rid of their waste and others turned up with their wheelie bins and bin bags and waited in line.

Traffic was blocked as people abandoned their cars in the road.

Birmingham City Council placed the city into a Major Incident to try and clear the backlog.
