Unions representing bin collectors say strikes will continue in Edinburgh next week after they rejected the latest pay increase offered by council leaders.
It means the capital's refuse and cleansing staff will be back on the streets for just a week when they return on Tuesday (August 30) before another walkout takes place – unless a deal is agreed before then.
And there are concerns the massive backlog of waste on the city streets which has been dubbed a 'health hazard' will not be cleared before staff walk out on strike again.
