Recycle, reduce litter and win big!

An exciting new initiative is coming to Cheltenham to help you easily recycle your waste using your kerbside collections - as well as cleaning up litter around the borough. We've partnered with LitterLotto to make their free app available to residents.

See our handy videos showing you how to download and use the app

LitterLotto ‘AtHome’ - for help with kerbside waste and recycling

All you need to do is download the free app and register for an account. You can then click on the 'AtHome’ feature and use your camera to scan the item that you want to dispose of. Thanks to new AI technology, the app will tell you which recycling bag or box to use, or whether it needs to go in the bin instead.

Every item correctly recycled or binned counts as an entry to an exclusive monthly prize draw, with a £100 cash prize for one lucky resident - and there's also a weekly national £1,000 jackpot.

The app also offers automatic bin day reminders, helping you to stay on top of your waste and recycling.

LitterLotto ‘Bin it to win it’ - for cleaning up litter around town

You can also use the app to pictures of litter you've picked up and binned via the app, using the ‘LitterLotto’ feature – and be entered into a £1,000 monthly prize draw.
