Massive piles of rubbish have been seen in the city centre reaching higher than six feet tall as the bin strike continues.
Pictures of the overflowing bins were taken from the city centre, around Edinburgh’s historic Old Town and from the top of Middle Meadow Walk. The images show piles of rubbish stacked next to the overflowing bins, some of them as high as six feet.
Discarded wrappers, cardboard boxes and black bin bags form a mountain of discarded waste, with some of the bins taped up to stop people from trying to fill them further. A huge pile of rubbish can also be seen outside the Grassmarket Hotel, with bin bags climbing out the top of full dumpsters taller than six feet.
