Petition for the removal of the 'Bulky Waste' charge
Full text of the Petition:-
To:
Durham County Council,
County Hall,
Durham,
DH1 5UL
We, The undersigned recognise:-
- Charges (additional to council tax) for the removal of bulky waste encourage fly tipping.
- It costs more for the council to clear up abandoned rubbish, than arranged collections.
- Increasing levels of abandoned rubbish devalues neighbourhoods and degrades our environment.
Therefore we are petitioning Durham Unitary Authority (Durham County Council) to take the following step:-
- Remove the surcharge for the removal of bulky domestic waste across the entire county and promise that it will not be reintroduced.
