Members of Unite the Union in Falkirk have thanked the public for the support shown to their pickets lines as the strikers took part in their seventh day of action.
The ongoing pay dispute has stopped bins being emptied and kept recycling centres closed for a week so far.
But despite bins starting to overflow across the Falkirk Council area, at the picket line outside Roughmute recycling centre today (Tuesday) many of the cars streaming past 'tooted' their horns to show their support.
