This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about recycling policies and availability of recycling bins are a matter for individual local authorities, not the Government or House of Commons.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to make it a legal requirement for people to recycle where possible, and fund increased availability of recycling bins across the country, if that's something you want to happen.

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