Residents will no longer need to book a timeslot at a city tip for one month.<\/p>\n

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

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.<\/p>\n

The booking system will still remain in place at the four other tips – at Lifford Lane, Sutton Coldfield<\/a>, Perry Barr<\/a> and Kings Norton.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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

As a result drivers from three depots walked out to join their colleagues on the frontline.<\/p>\n

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

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.<\/p>\n

Behind the scenes, talks between the city council<\/a> and the union Unite are ongoing.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Residents will no longer need to book a timeslot at a city tip for one month.
