Do you know a school class full of clever cookies and creative thinkers? We need YOUR help.

We’ve got a brand-new fleet of food waste trucks that’s ready to roll…but there’s one thing missing – none of them have names. We’re looking for something a-peeling, pun-tastic and full of flavour.

That’s where we need your help. We’re inviting primary school classes to cook up the perfect names for our food waste collection trucks . It could be compost-clever, bin-brilliant or rubbish-ly funny – as long as it celebrates fighting food waste and helping the planet.

Every peel, crust and leftover that we collect will be turned into nutrient-rich compost, which helps our farms, gardens and environment to thrive.

The 20 best names will be printed on the trucks, and those classes will receive a £50 voucher. We'll then ask residents across Hastings, Rother and Wealden which one of these 20 is their favourite. The class who submitted this name, will get a visit from the truck with their chosen name.

Deadline: 6pm - 30 November 2025
