What the petition asks
Have recycling bins around schools and cities to make more people recycle
I want parliment to do this because pollution is a massive issue and i believe that it needs to be stopped
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.
Decisions about recycling policies and availability of recycling bins are a matter for individual local authorities, not the Government or House of Commons.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to make it a legal requirement for people to recycle where possible, and fund increased availability of recycling bins across the country, if that's something you want to happen.
