Edinburgh residents are being urged to 'store waste at home' as bin strikes continue.
Waste workers in Edinburgh have taken strike action leading to rubbish-strewn streets in the midst of the Festival Fringe.
Bins are overflowing and litter has scattered the city as Edinburgh City Council waste staff walked out on Thursday August 18 as part of an 11-day protest over a 'pathetic' pay rise offer of 3.5 per cent. On Friday local authorities increased the pay deal to five per cent.
