1:39:21Now PlayingA major incident has been declared in Birmingham over an ongoing bin strike, which has left around 17,000 tonnes of waste on the streets of the city.
Birmingham City Council said the "regrettable" step was taken in response to public health concerns, with picket lines blocking depots and preventing waste vehicles from collecting rubbish.
Members of Unite have been on all-out strike since 11 March in a row over pay, which the union claims will leave some members of staff £8,000 worse off. A series of walkouts have also impacted refuse collections since January.
