Litter bins featuring celebrity voices saying "thank you" are being tested in Finland.
If successful, they could be adopted across Europe, reports the Daily Mirror.
"It is a fun idea to encourage people to stop dropping litter," said Elina Nummi, spokeswoman for Helsinki council.
The city will have four bins with movement detectors and voice recorders which will be moved once a week.
The trial "celebrity" is city mayor Jussi Pajunen. His message says: "It's great that you care about the city. Cool."
How strange ... :joker:
