Residents will no longer need to book a timeslot at a city tip for one month.

The online booking system for the Castle Bromwich Household Recycling Centre, off Tameside Drive, is to be removed from Monday (May 12).

The move, announced by the City’s environment boss Majid Mahmood, is said to be part of a trial and will last for a month.

The booking system will still remain in place at the four other tips – at Lifford Lane, Sutton Coldfield, Perry Barr and Kings Norton.

Meanwhile, reports emerged earlier this week that more bin truck drivers have joined the all-out strike blighting the city, leaving the council scrambling to get wagons out to collect rubbish.

Reports emerged of delayed collections and a return of rubbish hotspots around Birmingham after angry drivers were told last week they were in line for potential pay and grading cuts as part of a council-wide review.

As a result drivers from three depots walked out to join their colleagues on the frontline.

The council said it had a ‘contingency plan’ and hoped to have collections back on track by the end of this week.

The defiant workers said last week they were desperate to get back to work but could stay on strike ‘all summer’ if a deal was not struck that protected their pay.

Behind the scenes, talks between the city council and the union Unite are ongoing.

But both sides said they wanted to avoid giving a running commentary about the talks, saying they were keen to leave negotiators to try to work up a solution to the long-running dispute.

One worker, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the bin depots were currently struggling to get trucks out because of a shortage of crews, especially drivers.
