NET Officers came across a fly tip of household waste in a park in High Town. Photos were taken, a search of the bags was completed but no evidence found - on this occasion! Fly tipping will not be tolerated in Luton!

❄️ Road surface temperatures are expected to drop below 0 degrees tonight, so we'll be out gritting priority routes as a precautionary measure.
🚗 Stay safe, Luton!

A Luton resident was fined £1,8k for dumping rubbish
If fly-tippers think they can get away with it they can think again 😡
We don't just pick up waste. We investigate contents, review CCTV, appeal on our Wall of Shame. This leads to prosecutions 🕵️

Starting this month single-use cutlery & types of polystyrene containers are banned to help reduce plastic waste 🍴
If you're a business with stock that now can’t be used, email foodfirst@luton.gov.uk. We could give it another life through our charity & community sector 🙏
