Guessing game over bin collections continues

Birmingham residents have said "a guessing game" over their refuse collections continues, with reports some bins have not been picked up since April.

People living in Harborne, Edgbaston and Quinton have been reporting problems for several weeks.

Jeremy Laing, from Edgbaston, said collections were patchy: "We're paying council tax for it and we're paying a lot more council tax in Birmingham."

Birmingham City Council said it recognised work was needed on the service but that new management was focused on "sustained improvements".

Mr Laing described the refuse collection service as "dysfunctional".

"You put your bins out and it's sort of a guessing game," he said, "will they be emptied"Pictured is Rebecca Skeels smiling in a classroom.
