Bin collections are being disrupted in parts of Greater Manchester as the coronavirus crisis piles pressure on local authorities.
Residents have been asked to stop putting out certain types of waste for the foreseeable future, while also taking steps to stop the virus spreading to council workers.
All househould waste recycling centres in Greater Manchester - except Wigan - are also closed until further notice. With staff numbers dwindling, councils are facing difficult decisions about what waste they will be able to collect.
In some parts of the region, town halls are already prioritising general rubbish and food waste - the items that need to be most urgently disposed to keep the streets clean.
