"We’re committed to reducing the amount of waste that is sent to landfill and look forward to working with residents to make this happen."

Luton Borough Council public realm service director Alex Constantinides said: "We’re committed to reducing the amount of waste that is sent to landfill and look forward to working with residents to make this happen.

"If all 94 million cans and other metal packaging were recycled, it would equate to 542 cars being taken off the road for one year and a saving of 2,548 units of CO²."

Used metal packaging can be recycled into new products at a cheaper cost than making them from raw materials.

In 2010, research carried out by Beverage Can Makers Europe (BCME) revealed that some people were not aware that used metal packaging could be transformed into new items.
