Re-open all the household waste recycling centres

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

A rising issue with this is the household waste centres closing. Bin men are at greater risk collecting rubbish from houses than we are going to the local "tip". The issue at hand is that the health risk rises by stopping tips being open, due to peoples waste building up.

It would be a great move to re-open household waste centres. Stop the bin men having to go out and collect waste. Allow the public to (within rules and reason) attend the centres to dispose of their waste. If a fish and chip shop (not essential) can be open still, which there are 3 of in my town still open, why can we not keep control of the waste? Take bin men off the streets and re open waste centres.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The Government has asked councils to reopen waste and recycling centres, however the decision as to whether or not to reopen is a matter for individual councils.
