Stop the move to mandatory weekly food waste collection

What the petition asks
I want the Government to reverse its decision to mandate weekly food waste bin collections.
The cost to the taxpayer of this weekly collection will be significant. No one asked whether we wanted this. It’s been imposed. I know nobody who thinks this is needed.
We believe the money to do this could be better spent on helping our vulnerable veterans on the streets and providing better social care for the elderly and learning disabled.
