'The stench is thick in the air'
Dozens of Birmingham residents have been queuing to use a mobile collection service to dispose of mounting rubbish, as a strike by the city's refuse workers enters a fifth week.
The BBC's reporter, David Lumb, has been speaking to people in the south-east Birmingham suburb of Billesley.
They told him rubbish was covering many pavements, with a "mountain" of bin bags on some street corners.
