England - Liverpool - Dumping rubbish in a recreation park during binmen strike

Standing on the back of his utility vehicle, a man empties the contents of his dustbin onto a growing pile of rubbish in a recreation park in the otherwise affluent Allerton area of Liverpool, Merseyside, England, during the Merseyside dustmans' strike of 1991. Adding to this mountain of refuse, the 'Scouse' man (someone from Liverpool) is seen surrounded by black binliners and items from domestic homes which have been allocated this public space to become a temporary landfill. The industrial action aginst the local authority - over pay and working conditions - was a health problem for Liverpool's population during the summer of 1991 when streets filled with rubbish. Vermin like rats ran around and public city parks such as this were filled with every kind of refuse and garbage. (Photo by In Pictures Ltd./Corbis via Getty Images)
