Biffa will be at Europe's largest trucking festival on 6^th and 7^th May exhibiting its flagship limited edition Wasteater trucks as well as talking to attendees about new industry-leading emergency waste service - OneCall.

Based at stand A13, the Biffa team will be joining a packed line up at the event including the UK's leading Madness tribute band, Gladness, a giant exhibition hall featuring custom and vintage vehicles and favourite children's characters including Paw Patrol and Trolls.

Craig Leonard is representing Biffa at the show and says: 'When we heard about Truckfest, it was clear that it's a fantastic family event that we had to get involved in.

'Children and adults alike love to spot our Wasteater trucks. We're really looking forward to bringing Wanda the Wasteater and one of our specialist skip vehicles to Truckfest to talk to visitors about our large range of waste handling services.'

Wanda is one of a collection of 19 Wasteater trucks which each have their own individual monster paint job and all guzzle the waste that is loaded into their giant bodies.

Each Wasteater monster has its own name and personality, and serves a different UK city.

Biffa runs a dedicated spotter's website, containing tips and profiles of all of the Wasteaters, as well as clues of where they can be spotted. Hunters can visit http://www.biffa.co.uk/wasteater to find out more.
