The new names for ºù«ÍÞapp Borough Council’s fleet of bin collecting lorries have been confirmed.
Sir David Attenborough, Vin Diesel and comedian Romesh Ranganathan are among the celebrities to have their names recycled for the lorry monikers.
They were selected by a combination of personnel from Biffa, the council’s contractor, and primary school children. The Mill and Three Bridges schools provided the winning entries.
They will be printed on the front of 16 vehicles used to collect the rubbish, recycling and garden waste.
Giving each of the collecting lorries a name is a bit of fun but they have an important role to play in maintaining our environment and will become a familiar sight on our streets over the next decade.

One is named for Reggie the Red, ºù«ÍÞapp Town FC’s mascot, and he got to see two of the trucks which will bear his name earlier this year when some of the new fleet visited Broadfield Stadium.

- Bin Diesel
