00:00Now, Birmingham City Council says it is working towards bringing back recycling collections as part of the wider changes to
00:08the city's waste service.
00:10The Labour-run authority suspended recycling in February last year during the continuing bin strike.
00:16Council leader John Cosson says the aim remains to reintroduce collections alongside phased service changes from June.
00:23A council report says the full rollout could take around 12 months, with weekly food waste collections and a second
00:30paper and cardboard bin also planned for the city.
00:33Trade union Unite says some workers face pay cuts of up to £8,000.
00:39The council disputes that figure and says a fair offer has been made locally.
