Wirral Council has advised people "there is no need to report" uncollected bins after mass strikes led to "bags piling up in streets".
More than 200 Biffa employees on the outsourced Wirral Council contract took action from December 5 to December 10 after their demands for a 15% pay increase were not met, resulting in the cancellation of all bin collections and street cleaning.
A further round of strikes has been announced for December 28 to 30 and January 3 to 6. This coincides with another strike by 180 Veolia staff at the Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority, who have announced walk-out plans from December 28 to December 31, January 2 to January 7, and January 15 to January 21 2023.
