Inbetweeners star James Buckley has unleashed his fury over binmen refusing to collect his garden waste unless he pays - despite his council tax going up.

The 37-year-old, who reportedly lives in Chelmsford, Essex, ranted about the annual fee for brown bin collections introduced by the council.

The Lib Dem-run Chelmsford City Council introduced an annual fee of £60 for one brown bin to be collected, with homeowners being told to fork out an extra £30 for a second.

That's despite the local authority hiking council tax by 2.9 per cent in its most recent budget.

The decision has sparked the ire of the actor, who took a moment to complain about the change during an episode of The Buckleys - the podcast he runs with his wife Clair.
