Feed stray dogs by recycling?! Now there’s a win-win!
Imagine a device which will feed a stray dog every time you recycle a bottle. Does it sound too good to be true? Well then be prepared to be astonished! Meet “Pugedon“, a clever recycling bin which provides food and water to stray dogs!!! You can watch the video at the bottom of the page.
Pugedon is a social responsibility project by Yucesan J.S.C. which is a railway and coach company that has been around for 30 years in Arifiye/Sakarya-Turkey.
This device dispenses food for dogs every time you deposit a plastic bottle.
These street recycle bin kibble dispensers even have a slot where you can pour your unfinished water before you recycle the bottles. This water is then used to quench a stray dogs thirst.
The food and water are dispensed into two bowls on another side of the recycle bin.
The prototypes have been tested in Istanbul and are now available for sale worldwide.
They are also working on a device to feed stray cats. Here is a peek at the next generation Pugedon.
All the devices are powered by the sun and the cost of the food is covered by the recycled bottles.
What a truly smart and compassionate device, let’s hope they catch on!!!
