Dubliners can win prizes including €10,000 by binning litter with new app

A new app will allow punters to enter a draw to win prizes up to €10,000 by simply by putting litter in the bin.

Prizes vary from €5 all the way to a special €10,000 one off monthly draw to be won this month.

Entry is free and all punters need to do to be in with a chance is take a picture of themselves putting their litter in the bin and post it on the LitterLotto app with a caption.

Each time litter is binned, an entry is sent into the LitterLotto app, allowing users to be in for a chance to win spot prizes.
