Missed bin collections have led to complaints of rats, flies and smells in Coventry’s streets.
"The streets are a sea of bins everywhere and minging," one resident, Gill Dawkins, said.
“What with litter everywhere stuff dumped outside of peoples houses, bins overflowing. It is disgraceful,” she said.
Image source, AlamySome residents complained they hadn’t had some bins collected for four weeks, although Coventry City Council said extra Saturday crews had helped them catch up fully on the service.
The local authority blamed problems on foreseen issues such as booked staff holidays and levels of summer garden waste, alongside “a higher than usual” level of staff sickness.

A Grade I listed "garden room" at a stately home has been redecorated in the same colours as it was originally painted in the 18th Century.
Image source, John HubbleThe Rotunda at Croome Court, near Pershore, was built by England's greatest gardener, Lancelot "Capability" Brown, in the 1750s.
When the National Trust took over the management of the site in 2007, it said the building needed urgent repairs which were carried out.
Now, after donations, it says it's been able to paint it in the original colours of an off-white ceiling dome and grey walls, after experts analysed the previous layers of paint.
A regulator says its not always possible for employers to spot those "under the control of others".
