Urgent Action Needed: Fix Birmingham’s Waste Collection Crisis During Strikes

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Suspend tip booking requirements during strikes; create communal bin drop points for efficient waste collection; restore recycling drop-offs in supermarkets & promote them. Prioritise public health with emergency measures to prevent pest risks & environmental harm. Act now!

Birmingham’s streets are overflowing with rubbish due to strikes, creating health hazards, pests, and environmental damage. Residents can’t access tips or recycle. Emergency measures are needed now to protect public health and keep our city clean
