CCTV footage has been released showing a homeless man being tipped into a bin lorry's compactor.

He had been sleeping rough in a commercial recycling bin at the time.

The man was saved after the truck's driver saw the incident on his monitor.

The footage was supplied to the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme by waste management firm Biffa. Its head of safety Tim Standring describes what happened.
