Birmingham's bin strike, now a month old, leaves streets piled with waste, sparking health fears and council tax refunds demands.
Birmingham's month-long bin strike, due to a dispute between the city council and the Unite union, has led to 17,000 tonnes of waste piling up on streets, attracting rats and causing health concerns.
Residents are transporting their bins to mobile collection points, with some demanding refunds on their council tax, which is set to rise by 7.5%.
Negotiations between the council and the union are ongoing, with the council offering a lump sum to offset pay cuts, but a deal is yet to be reached.
