Residents have been told to expect uncollected rubbish in Derry after bin workers agreed to ballot for strike action.
Derry City and Strabane District Council (DC&SDC) said it had been advised that it has received formal notification from Unite the Union, in relation to strike action from March 21 to March 27.
The strike is also expected to have an impact on other council services including leisure facilities, street cleaning and recycling amenity centres.
