Some council workers are striking in Warrington until 16 October and bins will not be collected.
Bins across Warrington will not be emptied for the duration of the strike, the council saysBins will not be collected in a town for the duration of a two-week strike as refuse collectors walk out in a row over pay.The union said workers would not accept a "real terms pay cut" when they already struggled to make ends meet.It had previously said it expected a "small level of disruption" from the action, which it said related to national negotiations over pay.
Regional officer, Brian Troake said: "Our members have suffered a 25 per cent cut to their wages in real terms over the last 13 years. "Warrington Council's leadership team need to stop hiding behind the national pay negotiations and meet with Unite to resolve this dispute." The council has advised residents to flatten waste before putting it in the bin, share bin space with neighbours and to take waste to community recycling centres in Woolston, Gatewarth and Sandy Lane.
