Competition: Name that Food Waste Truck
We are inviting primary school classes to come up with a fun name for one of our new food waste collection trucks that are now travelling across the District.
All suggestions should be based around food waste, recycling and the environment.
We are running this competition to coincide with the successful roll out of our new food waste collection service and to encourage children to understand food waste and improve recycling behaviours.
We are grateful to all our residents who together managed to divert more than 400 tonnes of food waste from waste to recycling in the two months since the launch!

The winning entry will win £50 for the school and a special visit before the end of term from the truck with the winning name on it.
The closing date for entries is 6pm on Friday 12 June.
Send your suggestions to Waste.prevention@westsussex.gov.uk and lettuce tackle food waste together!
