Grim pictures show rubbish piled high on the streets of Birmingham the day before binmen stage an all-out strike.
Members of trade union Unite have staged a series of one-day walkouts since January with all-out strike action due to start on Tuesday (11/3).
Workers are furious over proposals to scrap a job role affecting 170 binmen which amounts to a pay cut of around £8,000.
Binmen also object to claims Birmingham City Council used agency staff to fill the gaps left by the striking workers.
