Edinburgh locals use baths and hire skips to store waste
Edinburgh residents have told how they have hired skips and even used bath tubs to store rubbish, as waste piles up during the city bin strike.
ดาวน์โหลด slotxo wallet All-you-can-do throws can be done, but there should be a pattern, careful capital service and a clear system of play. So it's going to be all-you-can-do.
Flat owners have been told to hold onto their rubbish rather than add bags to overflowing communal bins.
Some have come up with unique ways to cope with the waste in their homes.
The walk-out by refuse workers over pay is now into its second week in Edinburgh and expanded to 13 more council areas on Wednesday.
Helen Sikora, 87, who lives in the Old Town in Edinburgh, told BBC Scotland she had been keeping her rubbish in her bath.
She said: "I came up with the idea myself as it's the safest place to put rubbish. If it leaks then it's easy to clean my bath.
"I use the local health club every day to go swimming, so I don't need to use my shower."
"Its absolutely disgusting going out shopping just now and seeing the rubbish all over the pavements, it's just dreadful.
"I don't accumulate a lot of rubbish, but I've had this in my bath now for six days, its going to be a health hazard soon."
Neil Dishington, 38, who lives in Edinburgh's Polwarth, said he had hired a £200 a week skip for his rubbish.
He said: "I rent out my spare room to Airbnb guests during the festival so I generate a lot of waste and recycling.
