Following the strikes and "work to rule" that disrupted rubbish and recycling collections over the Christmas period, the Council has announced that staff in the Council's Fleet & Waste Management department have accepted a deal to avoid further industrial action.
The four Trade Unions involved - UCATT, GMB, Unite and Unison - signed a Collective Agreement with the Council after a ballot of their members.
This is clearly good news in that the threat of further industrial action has now been lifted and rubbish and recycling collections should continue to take place as scheduled. Fortnightly garden waste collections are also now taking place following the break in collections over the winter period.
More information about rubbish and recycling collections can be found on the Council website at www.birmingham.gov.uk/rubbish
