From today (31 March), households across Luton will start receiving weekly food waste collections as part of government legislation to make recycling simpler and more consistent across the country.

The Leader of Luton Council, Councillor Hazel Simmons, and Councillor Richard Underwood, Chair of the Scrutiny Health and Social Care Review Group, have sent the council’s response to the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre consultation. Proposals include moving the centre to a new facility next to Watford General Hospital and adding a radiotherapy unit at either Luton and Dunstable University Hospital or the Lister Hospital in Stevenage.

Residents in Luton are being encouraged to start using their food waste caddies ahead of weekly collections beginning next week (Tuesday 31 March).
