One is named for Reggie the Red, Crawley Town FC’s mascot, and he got to see two of the trucks which will bear his name earlier this year when some of the new fleet visited Broadfield Stadium.

The names are: Bin Diesel, Dusty, Binderella, David Attbinborough, Reggie the Red, Recyclosaurus Rex, The Incredible Bulk, Green Bin Buster, Bindiana Jones, Recycling Southgate, Romesh Recyclenation, Rosie, Lord of the Bins, Green Goblin, Obi-Wan Binobi, The Binions.

Make way for Binderella and Recyclosaurus Rex!
