Bin Diesel, Oprah Binfrey and The Bincredible Hulk will soon be collecting one Merseyside council’s recycling.
School children in Knowsley took part in a competition to name the borough’s new recycling wagons - and the results are brilliant.
Winning pupils at one Kirkby primary school, Archie and Harry, got a huge surprise this morning when two bin lorries arrived emblazoned with their new names.
Archie - who named Bin Diesel - said it was “boss”, and Harry - who named Oprah Binfrey - said he felt “proud”.
The competition inspired listeners to BBC Radio Merseyside to call in with their own suggestions. Binnie-the-Pooh, Obi Bin Kenobe and Bindiana Jones were some of our favourites. More than 700 names were submitted to the council - which were whittled down to nine winners.
Another favourite was Vincent Van Scoff.
Knowsley Council is to roll out food waste collections across the borough from 13 April. Council leader Graham Morgan said the competition was a fun way to engage the community in something which will mark a big change to the way people deal with their leftovers.
