Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis is calling on residents to vote to name the City’s new anti-litter mascot.

A shortlist of four names has been drawn up based on suggestions received from the public.

Hill-Lewis says Capetonians have shown great enthusiasm by responding with hundreds of name suggestions for the city’s new Anti-Littering Mascot, who is modeled on the green bins one sees throughout the metro.

But in the end, the City couldn’t decide on just one name, so they’ve drawn up a shortlist of four names for Capetonians to vote on.

Here are the four options for the name of the new Mascot:

Option A – Bingo

Option B – Binny

Option C – Nolitha

Option D – Phyllis-blik

Residents have been invited to vote now online, or on Facebook by going to the Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis page, or on twitter by visiting @geordinhl.

Voting closes on 15 June.

Once named, the mascot will hit the campaign trail to public events, schools, community clean-ups, malls and busy intersections across Cape Town.

‘As part of our Keep Cape Town clean campaign, we’re calling on all Capetonians to never litter, and to always use the available litter bins. Vote for your favourite name, so our mascot can take this message to communities across our city,’ said Alderman Grant Twigg, Mayoral Committee member for Urban Waste Management.
