Street litter bins

Litter in a public place is unsightly, dangerous to animals, and an offence. The average fine for littering is around £95, but can be up to £2,500.

Litter ranges in size from a single sweet wrapper, to a bag full of rubbish. Please try to 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.
