What Could Possibly Go Wrong...

"In 2021, we bought Berkshire’s first all-electric waste collection vehicle. The council now has 5 of these vehicles and would like your help naming them!

You may have already see ‘The Waster Taster’ and ‘Ricky Gerwaste’ driving around as part of our named food waste collection fleet."

You have to be a resident of Reading to enter so I'm out but, what've you got?

Reading only has a handful of famous people and they've already done Gervais/Gerwaste.

That only really leaves Kate Binslet.

Kate Binslet is a good shout.

Reading is famous for the 3 B’s. Beer, Biscuits and bulbs iirc.

Maybe  the fourth B

Needs an Elvis one too. Reading Elvis is probably more well known in the town than Ricky Gervais.

Can’t think of one that would encompass the, still not a city fact. Despite having city centre on the front of busses for a while.

They say Town centre now I think, maybe.
