Bin lorry names
In 2018, our teams started using new modern waste and recycling lorries to empty household bins. We invited pupils at Thurrock primary schools to colour a bin lorry picture and give it a name. Our waste and recycling team picked their favourites.
Our current vehicles have the following names.
