Poop-and-Scoop Disposals

The Curve is a Sanitized Trash Can Designed Specifically for Dogs

The Curve by designers Kőrös Benedek and Ben Koros is the ideal trash can to dispose a dog's waste as it doesn't involve any insanitary touching.

There's nothing more annoying than seeing dog owners leaving their pet's mess on the ground and you wonder why this must be. With the Curve, people can easily slide the poop bag through a slit and drag it to the enclosed box.

It's a design for Hungary as the local government was seeking a way to get people to pick up after their pets. This specially designed disposal can makes it easy for dog owners to trash waste. Most times, public trash bins are overfilled and even responsible dog owners find it difficult to do the right thing. With the curve, people must use biodegradable bags to pick up the waste and then lead it through a curvy gap to trash.
