Give councils powers to tax takeaway packaging, to fund litter clean up

Petition Details

Give local authorities the power to impose a new tax on fast-food takeaway restaurants to fund the cost of cleaning up litter from customers who litter our environment.

Additional Information

I don't think that's too much to ask so members of the public don't have to keep picking up litter from their communities.

The money from this tax would be used to pay crews to patrol our communities picking up items such as burger and french-fries packaging, discarded coffee and soft drink cups, cans, potato chip bags and pizza-slice holders.

At the moment, too much litter ends up scattered around our neighbourhoods and highways.
