The Birmingham bin strike has resulted in a significant waste accumulation in Sparkbrook, creating a 7ft high dumping ground that has residents outraged. With last collections taking place four weeks ago, people from outside the area are coming to dump trash, exacerbating the issue. The city council's response has been limited to reminders about proper waste disposal. Residents are facing health risks and blocked pathways due to the waste, which they believe prompts the council to act only when conditions become hazardous.
Residents in Sparkbrook are frustrated as a massive pile of rubbish rises, prompting concerns about public health, accessibility and city council responses.
Negama Bugum described the dangerous state of waste accumulation, noting that residents exploit local rubbish collection issues.
Nicola Hussain expressed disgust at the sight, highlighting the fear of encountering rats or other vermin when navigating through the refuse.
Local shop owners are worried about the public health risks associated with the mounting rubbish, which dissuades customers from visiting their businesses.
