Rejected petition More bins in ruislip to reduce littering

I want the government to invest in more bins to reduce littering in the ruislip area because there arent many bins in the local area

More details

I want the government to do this because research shows that many people tend to litter because there arent any bins near them, if there were more bins the amount of littering would be reduced.
Littering is also really damaging because more than 40% of litter is burned into the open air, which releases toxic emissions and is really damaging to the environment
