  • a street that needs sweeping
  • litter
  • a rubbish spillage

  • weeds in need of removal
  • discarded syringes

How we keep the streets clean

Luton's streets are divided into zones, depending on the:

  • volume of traffic using the streets each day
  • density of population in the area

The more frequently the road is used, the more often it will be swept.

We are responsible for keeping the borough clean and free of litter. We:

  • continuously clean town centres
  • clean main roads once a week
  • clean other roads once a month
  • remove rubbish from council land
  • empty litter bins before they are full
  • help with your locally organised clean-ups

Littering

Litter in a public place is unsightly, dangerous to animals and an offence. 

The maximum fine for littering is up to £2,500.

Use a litter bin or take it home.

There are over 1,100 litter bins in Luton. Each bin is scheduled to be emptied at least weekly and some (for instance in the town centre) can be emptied hourly.

The litter bins can take bagged dog waste and litter.
