Engin Girgin and Pugedon invented this thoughtful, innovative dog food recycling box or vending machine in 2014. The box has three opening outlets, the first outlet is used to throw recyclable plastic and cans and then it detects if the trash is recyclable and food and water are dispensed through the other two outlets.

The main objective of this innovation is to feed more than 150,000 stray dogs in Istanbul and allow an individual to feed stray dogs without paying money. The first box was placed in a public area on April 17, 2024.

Mr Girgin, an animal lover and owner of five dogs said in an old interview, "I also wanted to show that people can do good deeds with things they would normally throw away. At the same time, of course, I know that we don't give much priority to recycling here in Turkey.

"In my opinion, this has to change. So I basically killed two birds with one stone," An individual wrote, "It's amazing how a simple act of recycling can make such a big difference in the lives of these animals. Imagine if every city adopted this approach—what a difference we could make!"

Another X user Swayambhu Soham, said, "Are you serious, sir? This is amazing and a great solution for plastic waste as well as to control the dog population. Feeding helps us to build trust & to neuter dogs. Individual rescuers can neuter the dogs at a faster pace. If you are serious, we can do it."

"Wonderful thought and great idea re the vending machine - takes care of issues!" commented a third.

Someone else said, "This is just awesome. They belong to the city or place like any other human being. Humans creating nuisances—no one is bothered—but when it comes to animals, everyone has to say something negative. Shelters are for sick and disabled dogs, not for healthy ones. I am in."
