Rejected petition Ensure council do not cut bin collection during Corona virus emergency.

I want parliament to force all local councils to not cur bin collections during coronavirus emergency or force them to issue 50% council tax refund if they do.

More details

Bromley council just announced they will not collect plastics or paper bins during the outbrake. Bin man were classed as key workers so why is council doing that? It will help spread bacteria and will have impact on environment. Especially that they also closed local recycling plants.
