Original Toronto Star caption: Piling up: A super wide-angle lens was used by Star photographer Boris Spremo to take in all the garbage heaped up at the Westway drop-off area on lslington Ave. yesterday; just one of 24 temporary dumpsites in operation to cope with Etobicoke's 34-day-old outside-workers' strike. City officials and the striking union bargained into the early hours of today in a bid to come up with a settlement; but there were few details coming out due to a news blackout being imposed.
