‘Beds not bins for the homeless’
Waste firms and charities call for urgent action to stop bin sleeping on day a man's body is found in a rubbish lorry
Police investigate an unexplained death after a man's body was found in the back of a bin lorry in the early hours of the morning.
BRITAIN’S “shameful” homelessness crisis has caused a rise in the number of rough sleepers being crushed to death in bins, waste firms and charities warned today.
The warning came with a new report commissioned by waste management company Biffa, the Open University and the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management.
It revealed that at least seven people taking shelter in waste containers have been killed after being tipped into bin lorries over the last five years.
