Litter is already beginning to pile up in Glasgow City Centre as the first day of industrial action in the cleansing department commenced.
Bins in Sauchiehall Street were overflowing and rubbish had been dumped up and down the street with the problem only expected to get worse in the coming days.
Glasgow City Council says plans will be put in place to recover from the impact of the strike but warned it could be weeks before services return to normal.
