This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Recycling is the responsibility of your local council.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:

https://www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors

Your local council also has a petitions process - you can find out more about it here: http://www3.hants.gov.uk/haveyoursay/petitions.htm

If you want the UK Government to prevent all local authorities charging for use of waste recycling centers, we could accept a petition on that. The Government has recently held a consultation on this issue. You can find out more information here: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/preventing-backdoor-charging-at-household-waste-recycling-centres

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
