Bins, which have a basketball-type hoop, will also be on the streets Actress Amanda Holden has recorded a message saying "Yes! Do that again!" and former cricketer Phil Tufnell calls out 'Howzat!'.
The project has been created in a partnership between Keep Britain Tidy and the arts organisation Sing London.
The bins can also burst into song when you throw you littler away, with tunes including "I'm singing in the bin" and "Rubbish keeps falling on my head".
Others who have recorded messages include, the voice of The X-Factor, Peter Dickson, comedian Gina Yashere, rugby player Kenny Logan and opera singer Janis Kelly.

Additional messages will be adapted to suit each location, the organisers hope.
For example, Liverpool will have a Beatles Bin, Covent Garden's bin is operatic and the bin by Lord's Cricket Ground is filled with sport-related sounds. The bins will installed from 13 October and remain in London for two months, after which time they will tour the UK, returning for the Olympic Games in 2012.
If successful, the bins could become a permanent fixture.
The bins are being brought to the streets by Keep Britain Tidy's Love Where You Live campaign.
The project has been produced in partnership with Sing London, which in the past has put pianos and ping pong tables on the streets of London.
"We wanted to find a way to make bins enjoyable," says Colette Hiller, director of Sing London.
