Birmingham is facing a major crisis due to ongoing bin strikes that have left 17,000 tonnes of rubbish piling up across the city.
Since March 11, Unite union members have been on strike over pay and job cuts, with no resolution in sight.
Residents have compared the city’s condition to a “third world country” and a “war zone,” citing an explosion in the rat population and concerns for public health.
Birmingham City Council declared a major incident on March 30 due to the growing health risks and environmental damage.
Despite contingency plans, strikes have prevented waste collections, exacerbating the situation.
