Bettendorf needs your help naming recycling trucks

The City of Bettendorf wants your help to name some recycling trucks!

The City received 4,446 submissions to its Recycling Truck Naming Contest, and 94% were in honor and memory of a young boy named Reid who loved garbage and recycling trucks but passed away from cancer in 2020. Due to the outpouring of love and support for Reid, Bettendorf will name one of its three recycling trucks after Reid, but the other two trucks still need names. The City has created a poll with the 10 most popular submissions:

• The Green Reaper

• Truck Norris

• CHEWbacca

• Recyclosaurus Rex

• Bin Diesel

• Recycling McQueen

• The Incredible Bulk

• Scrappy

• Repete

• Sir Eats-a-Lot

The poll will be open through May 11, and the winning names will be revealed during Public Works Day on Saturday, May 18. To vote on your favorite name, click here.
