Ed Sheerbin, Gary Bineker and Stranger Bins are among the named picked for new bin lorries in part of Suffolk.

Babergh and Mid Suffolk Council’s revealed the winners of a contest - which asked locals to come up with fun names for their 22 environmentally friendly lorries.

They will be fuelled by certified sustainable Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) produced from waste cooking oil, which will enable Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils to continue slashing their carbon emissions by up to 90%, as well as reducing other pollutants.

The two-week long competition saw over 400 individual name suggestions sent into the councils.

Winners will be invited to see some of the lorries in action up close, and meet crew members in early 2023.

Mission Binpossible, Binderella and The Binbetweeners were among the other winning entries.
