Garden waste collections to resume in Luton

Luton Council will start collecting garden waste again from Tuesday, May 5.

During the coronavirus outbreak, Luton Council has been following the latest government guidance to protect both the public and bin crews working on the frontline.

This meant there had to be some changes to ensure priority collections could continue, while enabling the crews to work in line with social distancing measures and stay safe.

The council’s crews are still having to work in a different way to ensure that they are staying safe, working to the government guidance so collections may take longer than usual.

Luton Council has thanked residents for their patience and understanding during the coronavirus outbreak.
