Hundreds of bins were left unemptied in Bolton after a rubbish truck broke down for the second time this year.
Households across more than 60 roads in Chew Moor, Westhoughton, as well as some from Church Street, did not have their green wheelie bins collected on the designated day of Monday.
Bolton Council bosses have said that some bins were collected on Tuesday and Wednesday when vehicles were sent back out.
Residents in the affected may have to use skip hire to clear the waste that is left over.
