Require local authorities to collect all plastic waste that can be recycled

Petition Details

At present many councils do not accept some recyclable plastics because they have not arranged recycling facilities for these. The Government should require councils to collect all recyclable plastics and make arrangements for these to be recycled.

Additional Information

Local recycling collections are accessible to everyone. A lot of people can't easily get to alternative recycling facilities.

This should reduce plastic going to landfill – it takes centuries to degrade – and production of virgin plastics, helping to reduce the impact of plastic waste on the environment.
