UNBELIEVABLE: Bin collections cancelled as biffa workers walk out over low pay - Caught on Camera

Bin collections in Wirral will not go ahead as usual next week as hundreds of Biffa workers begin to strike in the lead-up to Christmas.

Around 200 workers employed by Biffa on the outsourced Wirral Council refuse contract will walk out on Monday as they fight for a 15% pay increase to "reset their pay rates and also tackle the cost of living crisis" as inflation soars to 14.2%.

Wirral Council has now confirmed that all bin collections and street cleaning scheduled between Monday, December 5, and Saturday, December 10, will not take place as a result.
