Competition winners get behind the wheel of Ed Sheerbin Babergh and Mid Suffolk’s bin lorry naming competition winners have enjoyed the chance to get behind the wheel of Ed Sheerbin and Binnie the Pooh. Hosted at Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils’ Sudbury depot, winners were able to ‘drive’ a bin lorry, see it in action, and ask crews their burning bin and recycling questions. They also received a certificate with a picture of their named bin lorry, and a high vis vest to take home. Jason Alexander, who named the Bincredible Hulk and Mary Popbins lorries, said: “It’s been absolutely brilliant, one of the best things was seeing the children’s faces as they got to sit in the cabs of the new bin lorries. “I got to live a childhood dream as well by sitting in the cab of a bin lorry and it was fascinating to see how they all work.” The 22 winning names were chosen by the councils’ waste team and crews at the end of last year, and the lorries began hitting the roads over the winter. They saw off over 400 individual name suggestions sent into the councils - with locals of all ages, from villages to towns, all getting in on the fun. Cllr Elisabeth Malvisi, cabinet member for environment at Babergh District Council, said: “Collecting your bin is one of our most visible jobs, so it was great to be able to give our competition winners an insight into bin crew life. It was great to see hundreds of you engage in the competition, and I hope the lorries, which run on special used vegetable oil, catch your eye as they pass by with important waste messages and catchy names.”
