LitterLotto®
LitterLotto® is an exciting new initiative which will help everyone to recycle right, keep neighbourhoods clean, and reward residents for binning waste.
The LitterLotto® mobile app, new to Newark and Sherwood, has two key features for use at home or on the go, each offering its users a chance to win weekly prizes.
The first feature uses AI Waste technology to help residents determine what waste goes in which bin when you are at home. The AtHome™ feature in the app allows users to take a photo of an item to see if it can be recycled or not. The app will then guide you on whether it’s recyclable and which bin you should pop it in! Every correctly disposed item qualifies for local and national prize draws, with a guaranteed monthly £100 Jackpot up for grabs for Newark and Sherwood residents as well as additional chances to win a weekly £1,000 national jackpot! The more you recycle, the greater your chances of winning.
Plus, for each correct entry, users earn "LitterLotto® Coins" which can be redeemed for prizes or extra jackpot entries in the Coin Store.
How does it work?
- Register your account - Newark and Sherwood residents will be recognised automatically to use the AtHome™ feature.
- Photograph the item you want to dispose of using the app and the system will tell you which bin it should go in.
- Take a picture of your hand with the item you are disposing of over the correct bin and submit.
- The system will register your entry. You can enter as many times as you like!
The second feature of the app means that you don’t just have to use it in the home either.
The app will encourage users to pick up litter off the street when you are out and about. Again, simply photograph litter as you place it in a public bin for a chance to win. Volunteers participating in litter clean-ups can also snap photos of their collected items to enter prize draws, earning coins with every submission.
The LitterLotto® app is free to download on the App Store and Google Play, so why not get started today!
