Talks to end the Birmingham bin strikes collapsed this week.
No deal was reached between Birmingham council and Unite union and the all-out strike entered its fifth week.
There’s warnings of a public health emergency. Bin bags line the street, mountains of rubbish pile up in alleys, and an influx of rats is plaguing the city. And, Unite’s General Secretary Sharon Graham has warned bin strikes could spread to other local authorities as cash strapped councils make further cuts.
The dispute began when the effective bankruptcy of Birmingham council triggered their decision to remove Waste Recycling and Collection Officers, a safety role it says does not exist at other authorities.
Last month, I went to Birmingham to speak to striking bin workers, and some local residents, whose voices you’re about to hear.

British Steel has been warning for several days that the raw materials needed to keep its plant's two blast furnaces operational are running out.
The Chinese-owned company says the business is no longer sustainable, and are willing to let the factory cease operations - at the cost of 2,700 jobs.
Labour have 24 hours to buy in new products and make a bid to nationalise the plant.
Will they do it?

The private rented sector is broken and tenants across the UK have been waiting for the government to ban no-fault evictions.
Labour MP Alex Sobel tabled the amendment that on top of this ban, would see landlords banned from charging tenants more than one months rent up front.
He's also looking at loosening guarantor laws to help more people get into private rentals.
