Help needed naming two new Charnwood bin lorries

Dustbin Bieber, The Trashformers or Binnie the Pooh are some of the suggestions.

Youngsters are being invited to put forward name suggestions for two new bin lorries in Charnwood.

The two trucks will join Charnwood Borough Council's current refuse fleet of 41 lorries, vans and road sweepers in April.

The new vehicles will join the likes of Gary Binekar, Bindiana Jones, Rosie Recycler, The Chomper and Trash Gordon – just some of the names of the other 24 vehicles in the fleet.

The refuse fleet was named by local children in 2020 when the Council invested in a more efficient and safer fleet which included the latest technology.

Over 150 suggestions were received back in 2020.

The Council is investing around £450,000 in the two new lorries.

Entries for the Name That Wagon competition are now open and will close on Friday April 19, 2024.

A full list of the current vehicle names and details on how to enter can be found on the Council’s website: www.charnwood.gov.uk/NameThatWagon
