Please open the rubbish tips to prevent fly tipping.

What the petition asks
As the rubbish tips are currently closed, fly tipping has increased dramatically. Please open the tips, limiting the amount of people allowed in at one time so proper safety distancing can be controlled easily.
People are on lockdown and it is understandble that they are using this time to do jobs that usually get left due to lack of time. Add to that the better weather, people are out in their gardens and waste keeps adding up. Rules could be set to allow a limited number of cars at once so that the 6 foot distance can be observed easily. No contact will be necessary if people are told only to bring what they themselves can dispose of without help from employees.
Why it was rejected
The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.
