New rubbish drop off points have been created in Thurrock as the ongoing strike action cripples services.
Refuse workers are on strike until the end of the month in a row over pay - It's claimed workers could lose out on £3000 a year under new pay structure plans.
Two new sites in Belhus and Blackshots have opened this morning with plans for another new site in Orsett also being made.
Images on social media show rubbish piled high at drop off spots across the borough.
