A new fleet of 15 waste and recycling trucks has been showcased by Crawley Borough Council.  Each will have a name suggested by children, and the crews who operate them. 

Crawley Town Football Club mascot, Reggie the Red is the first to have the honour of his name on one of the trucks.  The names will be added to the cabs after the full list has been confirmed next month.  The new trucks replace a fleet which had come to the end of its working life after 10 years. 

Later this year, the council expects to fuel the fleet with hydro treated vegetable oil (HVO) to reduce air pollution and carbon emissions.
