Environment campaigners claim the bin strike should remind people to reduce their household waste.

Friends of the Earth said some of the piles of rubbish which have built up in Brighton and Hove could have been avoided if people were reusing, recycling and composting more.

Alison Walters, from the group, said: "Looking at the waste piling up around the city much of it could be recycled and food waste can be composted.

"We need to take responsibility for what we put out on the street.”
