Thousands of drivers queued for hours outside a rubbish dump in Birmingham today after the city reopened the waste sites for the first time in seven weeks. Drivers remained seated in their vehicles in the sweltering heat in queues that stretched for miles after four of five waste sites in the city were opened by the waste contractor Veolia. At one centre in Kings Norton, more than 250 vehicles were counted queuing this afternoon with many waiting outside the site from dawn before dumping their waste. One driver, who joined the queue an hour before the recycling centre opened at 11am, said: 'In two hours and ten minutes, I've actually driven 30 yards and I've still got another hour before I get in. Drivers queued for hours outside a rubbish dump in Birmingham today after the recycling centre lockdown was lifted People remained seated in their cars for hours in an effort to dispose of their waste in one of the city's many rubbish dumps One man wearing a mask sat in his car with his rubbish as he waited to be let into one of Birmingham's waste centres 'They're only letting five in at a time. I can't see me getting home before dinner. It's lucky I got my tea out of the freezer.' Recycling bosses vetted drivers before letting them into the depots and ensured they were using the site for 'essential' use only. Local resident Tony Astley said: 'I was in this queue at 10am this morning. It's now 12.12pm and there's still about an hour to wait just to get into the recycling centre.' Meanwhile at the Norris Way centre in Sutton Coldfield, police were seen directing traffic and locals were told to check webcams before venturing to the tips - only for the webpage to crash due to high usage.

Share this article Share As many rushed to the centres to dispose of their rubbish, waste firm Veolia said the tips were open for essential use only. A statement from Veolia read: 'To ensure the safety of the public and our staff, we are opening for essential use only. This is for residents who have a problem with storing too much waste or have oils or other hazardous waste at home. 'Please think carefully before you decide to visit the site. Non-essential use puts yourself, other members of the public and our staff at risk from spreading the infection.

The scenes come as a survey of local authorities revealed around half of all councils hope to begin opening their rubbish tips by the end of next week as the country starts to ease its lockdown guidelines. The survey, commissioned by the Association of Directors of Environment, Economy, Planning and Transport (Adept), found more than four in five (84 per cent) of the councils asked had plans to open their tips and 37 per cent hoped to reopen sites by May 14. The study comes as Prime Minister Boris Johnson yesterday confirmed that the strict measures imposed under the six-week coronavirus lockdown will start to be eased on Monday. The results from the survey also showed that about one in nine (11 per cent) of council were planning to have household waste and recycling centres open this week.

But closure of tips and curbs on some collections, along with more waste being generated by people embarking on spring clean clear-outs, DIY projects and gardening, has raised concerns over an increase in fly-tipping. This week, the Government published updated guidance encouraging local authorities to reopen their centres if social distancing measures can be put in place and staff and visitors can be kept safe. Householders are being told they should only take rubbish to a household waste and recycling centre if it cannot be stored safely at home and no alternatives for disposing of it, such as bulky waste collections, are available. David Renard, environment spokesman for the Local Government Association, said: 'Councils are keen to open household waste and recycling centres as soon as practicable. Cars queued outside Birmingham City Council Tip after four of the city's waste sites were opened Drivers open their car doors and stretch their legs as they wait to enter Birmingham City Council Tip Some drivers kept their windows open as they waited inside their vehicles in an effort to use the rubbish site 'The decision to reopen sites will be taken by individual councils based on risk assessments in their area. 'This will be a gradual process over the next few weeks and based on whether they have enough staff, social distancing measures are in place to protect workers and members of the public, and waste staff are given personal protective equipment to reduce the risk of infection and provide reassurance.' Earlier this week local government groups which represent district and county councils in England asked Britons not to rush to their nearest dumping site over fears that it would create queues to form. With many set to reopen, groups feared a 'sudden rush' could spark long lines of traffic, like those seen in both Greater Manchester and Northumberland after councils were finally given the green light to reopen waste centres. One group to raise concern was the District Councils' Network a cross-party member led network of 187 district councils. Dan Humphreys, from the [http://www.lifebeyondtourism.org/?header_search=District%20Councils District Councils] Network, said: 'We appreciate how hard people have been working to keep on top of waste but we would like to stress that it won't be possible for everyone to suddenly get rid of any rubbish they have built up over recent weeks all in one go.' While Sam Corcoran, the group's communities and environment spokesman, said: 'We would encourage residents to only take a trip to their recycling centre if absolutely necessary, reusing or recycling items using kerbside collections wherever possible.' Last Saturday, Greater Manchester and Northumberland, which have reopened its tips with a system alternating the days vehicles are allowed to attend, saw long long queues forming from 7.30am. A survey, commissioned by the Association of Directors of Environment, Economy, Planning and Transport (Adept), found that 84 per cent of council were planning to open their dumps.

In March, rubbish dumps and recycling centres across the UK closed in response to the coronavirus pandemic. A spokesman for the Local Government Association said at the time: 'Councils are leading local efforts to support communities through the coronavirus crisis. 'As councils prioritise protecting the vulnerable, there will be inevitable disruption to other important services, such as bin collections and street cleaning. 'Some councils are having to change their waste and recycling services as coronavirus impacts on their collection staff. They will continue to work hard to keep waste and recycling services working as effectively as possible.' The latest figures show fly-tipping has risen by 300 per cent in rural communities since the closure of nearly all tips in March.

Taxis Bikes Sushi Robots Keep New Yorkers Fed Protected

NEW YORK (AP) - Yellow cabs are lining up before sunrise at [http://www.cbsnews.com/search/?q=food%20distribution food distribution] sites across the city. Motorcyclists are buzzing over bridges, bags packed with masks and gowns. Even sushi-making robots are pitching in, freeing up acclaimed chefs to deliver meals to hospitals. With their fellow New Yorkers in need, an army of unlikely couriers is distributing food and supplies in the coronavirus hotspot. They're keeping families fed amid a surge in unemployment that has nearly doubled the city's food-insecure population to about 2 million. They're ensuring doctors have face shields and N95 masks after hospital stockpiles ran out. They're lifting spirits for those affected most by the pandemic that has killed at least 13,000 New Yorkers. "At this time, we need to help each other," taxi driver Adel Jelassi said. "There´s a crisis, and I want New York to come back." Jelassi and thousands of other New York cabbies have helped provide more than 6.5 million meals since the state instituted stay-at-home measures in March.

(AP Photo/John Minchillo) The city-funded food delivery program, coordinated through New York´s Taxi & Limousine Commission, is paying drivers $53 for each six-stop route they take on. Most are getting three routes per day, which is helping keep TLC drivers financially afloat with potential riders stuck at home. Taxis are arriving as early as 4:30 a.m. at food distribution sites, hours before they open, to ensure they get a full day's worth of routes. Drivers take boxes packed with meals from the facilities to the front doors of families. All New Yorkers are eligible for the program and can sign up by calling 311. "It´s helping me to survive, feed my kids and pay my bills," Jelassi said. "And helping other people to get stuff at home." Jelassi has been making his pickups at Basketball City in Manhattan's Lower East Side, a 70,000 square foot facility uniquely suited to the city´s food program. The seven-court gym is usually a practice space for NBA teams visiting the Knicks or Nets, and a home for adult leagues, camps and clinics for inner-city kids. Now it has been taken over by NYC Department of Parks & Recreation and filled with boxes of food donated by vendors such as Gate Gourmet, an airline food provider. The site can send out up to 100,000 meals per week. It's the only one of New York's nine distribution centers sending food to all five boroughs. "The whole thing is surreal," said Bruce Radler, founder and CEO of Basketball City, who offered up his gym to the city after he was forced to close temporarily. With New Yorkers mostly isolating at home, the city´s congested roadways have been freed of gridlock, allowing motorcyclists like Melanie Milano to zip between boroughs. She´s putting the open streets to charitable use by delivering masks, gowns and other protective gear to medical professionals in short supply. Milano is one of hundreds of bikers nationwide volunteering with Masks for Docs, which coordinates shipments of Personal Protective Equipment to healthcare professionals. That includes some PPE collected by One Million Masks, which purchases supplies from vendors and donates them to doctors that make requests through its website. Masks for Docs has delivered more than 100,000 masks and tens of thousands of face shields in the U.S. in four weeks. Many of those drop-offs have been made by bike. "Riding my motorcycle around the city to deliver PPE to people who really need it is the least I can do," Milano said. Milano has made about 15 runs with Masks for Docs, alongside her girlfriend, Ashley Zeolla. "It makes me genuinely smile," Milano said. "It´s hard in a time like this to actually feel genuine happiness. Knowing I´m helping somebody through this in a way is huge." Sushi chef Mark Garcia has been in hospitality for nearly 20 years, but he´s trying out a new position amid the pandemic - delivery man. The executive chef at Kissaki in Manhattan has been bringing bluefin tuna, yellowtail and uni to hungry hospital workers using a car rented by restaurant owner Garry Kanfer. Garcia was freed up to make the deliveries after Kanfer invested more than $20,000 in sushi-making robots to speed up production. The shop has one robot pressing out rice sheets for maki rolls, and it expects to add a maki-roll cutter and nigiri rice ball maker soon. The rice sheet maker has helped Garcia and two other chefs crank out nearly 100 meals per day for hospital workers otherwise subsisting on burgers, pizza and other takeout. "They love it," Garcia said. "They say, `I´m so tired of chicken, I´m so happy to have sushi.´" The robots - somewhat common in Japan but rare for New York City restaurants - are also a timely investment for Kanfer. Kissaki opened in late January and hadn't been selling takeout. With the robots, Kanfer is pivoting the restaurant from serving hand-rolled omakase in the dining room to offering more accessible items for delivery. "We needed to adjust," Kanfer said. ___ Follow Jake Seiner: website Melanie Milano, left, delivers a shipment of personal protective equipment to Doctor Yelena Malina at her practice in the Coney Island neighborhood of the Brooklyn borough of New York, Sunday, May 3, 2020.

"I have become acquainted with the situation in Silesia. It is very complicated, because it is a large agglomeration, with a huge density of workplaces," the Chief Sanitary Inspector said in a statement. Poland's biggest coal group, PGG, which employs around 40,000 people, has reported 384 cases of coronavirus among its workers, its spokesman said, adding that 1,516 were in quarantine.

"Miners drive up their cars to a tent, do not leave the vehicles, just open the window and medical staff efficiently take a throat swap," Silesian authorities said in a statement. In the last 24 hours, there were 1,494 tests in the Silesia region. PGG, which is also struggling with falling prices and demand for coal and rising stockpiles, closed three of its eight mines due to the epidemic. "This is bad news as the companies are in a difficult financial situation," State Assets Minister Jacek Sasin told private radio RMF on Thursday. State-run mining firm JSW reported 33 coronavirus cases, mostly in its Pniowek coal mine. "For the time being, we are able to control the situation," a JSW spokesman said, adding the group was not considering closing the mine. Poland's copper producer, KGHM, said it had three coronavirus cases among its miners. (Reporting by Agnieszka Barteczko; editing by Nick Macfie)
