Bin collections on Thursday will be disrupted due to the action, the city council says.

Union members from around the country are gathering at the Lifford Lane bin depot in Kings Norton.

The BBC answers some of the most-asked questions about the ongoing strike.

Trade union regional officer Richard White said the workers should be "commended".

Union Unite says more than 100 drivers had voted to take industrial action in a dispute over pay.

Members of three unions - Unite, the GMB and Unison - planned to walk out on Tuesday after rejecting an earlier deal.

Unison says further talks with the publicly-owned company will be held to avert a strike on Tuesday.

The talks on Thursday will see conciliation service Acas included in negotiations for the first time.
