Residents have queued for as far as the eye can see to drop their rubbish off at a temporary refuse collection site on Friday 4 April morning.

Vehicles were bumper to bumper stretching along Clapgate Lane running up to Woodgate Valley Country Park, a nature reserve, where they dumped their bin bags to be put into a bin wagon.

The scenes were more organised than previous days, although the traffic added an hour onto many peoples journeys.

Birmingham City Council placed the city into a Major Incident to try and clear the backlog of waste after bin workers have been on strike since January 2025.
