Name the GYBC Refuse Trucks Competition

Great Yarmouth Borough Council has announced the launch of an exciting competition, inviting primary school-aged children to suggest creative and inspiring names for Great Yarmouth Services Limited's (GYS) five new refuse trucks.

GYS is responsible for a number of services the council provides, including refuse collection and recycling, street cleaning, public toilet cleaning and maintenance, buildings cleaning, grounds maintenance services, vehicle maintenance, arboriculture, leisure, burial services and pest control.

The competition aims to engage the local community and harness children's creativity to give the essential vehicles names that reflect the spirit and identity of Great Yarmouth, while contributing to the vibrant culture and identity of the borough by suggesting names that resonate with people.

As well as a name, children are encouraged to include a drawing of a recycling messaging, with the winning designs being placed on the side panel of the trucks. Please find colouring competition template attached.

The competition closes on Friday, June 23. Her Worship the Mayor, Councillor Penny Carpenter, will carefully review all entries and select the most suitable names for the five new refuse trucks.

We would love for your pupils to submit entries, please send all to marketing@great-yarmouth.gov.uk.
