What's in a name? Central Bedfordshire Council promises your help won't go to waste

The council has taken delivery of 34 new waste and recycling trucks and it wants residents to get involved and name them.

The 34 state-of-the-art trucks will be working hard to collect glass bottles and jars; plastic bottles, drinks cans and cartons as well as garden waste.

And the council is hoping you will come up with some great ideas for names.

34 of the best responses, as selected by the council's panel of judges, will feature on the side of the trucks.

All entries must be less than 25 characters and all residents are asked to keep it clean.

Get your ideas into the council by midnight on March 22. Entries can be tweeted to @LetsTalkCentral #bintrucks or join the conversation on Facebook @LetsTalkCentral or email your ideas to [email protected]

Cllr Ian Dalgarno, executive member for Community Services, said: “The trucks took to the roads in February as part of our new contract with FCC Environment. The new contract will improve efficiency and deliver value for money whilst also giving us the opportunity to introduce new recycling services to our residents later in the year.”
