To have councils re-open council recycling points
To re-open council recycling points to allow people to drop extra waste that is been caused by the lockdown
Due to the lockdown there is going to alot more waste, we cannot expect our waste collection services to be increased but we could still continue to use our local refuse recycling points.
We could still use these whilst adhering to social distancing rules.
If we dont allow this to happen, Waste could end up building up and creating more issues, illnesses and a serious pest problem
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Waste management is devolved, so it is up to individual local authorities how to manage this, not the Government or Parliament.
