Birmingham Council warns against dumping rubbish during the ongoing bin strike
Birmingham: The city council is sending a clear message to residents. If you’re thinking about dumping your rubbish at the Council House during the bin strike, think again. They’re treating anyone who does this as a fly-tipper.
This warning popped up on their website, especially as the Unite union gears up for another day of strikes. It’s causing quite a disruption, and the council wants to make sure everyone knows the rules.
Even with the strikes, they’re reminding folks to put their bins out on the usual collection days. They’ve also extended the hours at some tips to help with the rubbish backlog.
On their site, they made it clear: bringing your rubbish to the Council House won’t speed things up. It’s considered fly-tipping, and they’re serious about prosecuting anyone caught doing it.
They also touched on council tax, urging people not to stop paying it just because of the strikes. They emphasized that paying council tax is a legal obligation, and the strikes are due to union actions, not the council’s fault.
