Councillors fear a surge in fly-tipping reports following days of strikes which have stalled bin collections and shuttered recycling centres.
Strikes are set to continue and spread across sectors of West Lothian Council services following a breakdown in talks between unions and COSLA, the local authorities umbrella group.
Householders were advised to put bins out from today but the council advised there would be delays in uplifts getting back to normal. And a new set of strikes has been called for the middle of next week.
