Discarded soft toys make garbage tractor appealing

News

A garbage tractor driver from Kurunegala has gone viral on social media after adorning his municipal vehicle with teddy bears, fabric flowers, and colourful decorations, many of which were salvaged from the very trash he collects or purchased himself.

Nuwan Nishantha Kularatne has been attached to the Kurunegala Municipal Council since 2016 and began decorating his tractor in 2019, with help from assistants Lahiru Hewage and Amila Madushanka.

What started with a few discarded soft toys has now become a sig- nature look, turning heads and lifting spirits around town.
