A newly-branded bin lorry will be taking to streets of St Helier from tomorrow.

The light blue refuse truck has been labelled up with messages about Autism Jersey.

It's the parish's latest effort to raise the profile of local causes, with other lorries promoting Diabetes Jersey, the Women's Refuge, breast cancer checks and Samaritans.

Gemma Dawkins from Autism Jersey says it's a great way to spread the word:

"I didn't know a refuse truck could be so technically advanced. The colours are amazing and it really does do it justice in opening people's eyes, getting Autism at the forefront of their mind and raising awareness of us as a charity."
