Almost every residential area is plagued by overflowing bins. Rats and other vermin are taking over the streets, and fly-tippers are exploiting the strike by dumping rubbish in open spaces.

More than a million people have been affected. Some say they are being held to ransom over the fate of a small number of refuse collectors, while others accuse the bankrupt city council of snatching money from essential workers due to its own financial mismanagement.
