Require local councils to recycle medical blister packs

What the petition asks
Make it a statutory requirement for local councils to recycle medical blister packs
Millions of medical pill blister packs are sent to land waste every year.
People of all ages are generating this waste. Especially in rural areas, it can be extremely difficult for people to get these recycled.
It should be obligatory for local councils to include these in their recycling programmes, rather than disposing in landfill.
