Glasgow City Council has launched a ‘Litte’r Lotto scheme to encourage more people to use street bins.
Anyone aged over 18 can upload a photo of themselves putting rubbish in a council bin through an app to enter a prize draw.
A monthly prize of £100 is being offered, and people can enter as many times as they like to give them a chance to be chosen at random to win the cash prize.
Do you think this will cut down on street rubbish? Vote now in our online poll:

Councillor Ruairi Kelly, Glasgow Convener for Neighbourhood Services, encouraged people to download the free app and get involved.
He said: “Glasgow’s LitterLotto is a novel and exciting way to encourage people to bin their litter when out and about in the city.
"This LitterLotto pilot is another string in our bow to encourage positive behavioural change and foster good habits.
“LitterLotto is an incentive for more people to dispose of their litter responsibly, helping to keep the city clean and enabling them to be in with a chance of winning prizes.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
