Stop local borough councils charging for replacement recycling bins

What the petition asks
The UK Government has a target to recycle 50% of all household waste by 2020. A recent report showed that we recycled less in 2016-17 than in 2011-12. Is there any wonder that the general public is recycling less when local borough councils are imposing charges on residents for replacement bins.
South Ribble Borough Council charge £30 for a replacement wheelie bin or £10 for a replacement paper recycling bin, which may have been lost or damaged (blown away) or stolen, through no fault of the resident.
