This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition All fast food restaurants with car parks to provide recycling bins outside.
More and more people use drive through/park up in fast food places. It is concerning seeing so much rubbish go straight in the bin with no choice to even recycle. We should be doing as much as we can to fight climate change and to encourage others to do so, even if it is just recycling.

Recycling helps to reduce the pollution caused by waste and reduces the need for raw materials so that the rainforests and other raw materials can be preserved. It requires much less energy and therefore helps to save natural resources and reduces the amount of waste to be sent to landfill.
See link (https://friendsoftheearth.uk/sustainable-living/7-benefits-recycling) for some benefits of recycling. Help make a change and achieve a more resilient future!
