YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Bin workers have gone on strike in Birmingham, leaving mounds of waste to remain uncollected, while residents have started to complain about "rats as big as cats".

Birmingham City Council declared a major incident on 31 March, saying the "regrettable" move was taken in response to public health concerns, as picket lines were blocking depots and preventing waste vehicles from collecting rubbish.

Agency workers have been sent in to deal with the mess - with one of them telling Sky News about how "dangerous" the situation is getting.
