THE winners of a competition to name a fleet of food waste trucks coming to Basingstoke and Deane have been revealed, after hundreds of pun-filled entries were sent in by residents.
More than 400 suggestions were submitted, serving up a menu of creative, quirky and downright cheesy ideas. After much deliberation, organisers at Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council have now dished out the final list of winning names.
Lettuce celebrate the winners. Among the stand-out choices are The Very Hungry Caddyfiller, Bin Appetit, Peels on Wheels and Scraps to the Future, alongside characterful picks such as Dame Foodie Dench, Sir Scrapsalot and Foody McFoodface.
Other winning entries include Chewie Stewie, Core Patrol, Hungry Horace, Lucy Leftovers, Mission Compostable, Scrappy Doo, Chewscrapa and Bangers and Trash.

Organisers thanked everyone who took part, saying they “really enjoyed browsing the menu of suggestions”, even if choosing the final winners proved a tough task.
The newly named trucks will soon be out and about, collecting household food waste and helping transform leftovers into heat, electricity and fertiliser.
Residents are being encouraged to keep an eye out for the freshly branded fleet as it hits the road.
