Installed in one of Kiev's residential areas at the end of October, the reimagined vending machine has collected almost £320,000 of recyclables within the first two weeks, according to the project Founder Roof at Rome.

Off Ah, lot of people come here, but mainly over the weekends, after they collect plastic bottles during the week, you can see it yourself that families come here.

During the weekends.

Parents give kids a bag on.

They put their bottles into the machine one by one.

On weekends, the machine attracts a lot of people on a work day.

We collect 2 to 3 bags of bottles, while on a weekend day we collect at least six bags within Meshkov.

He's proud that the initiative help to tackle two problems in the capital.

Recycling plastic waste on nourishing stray animals.

One plastic bottle equal 20 g of food dispensed by the machine onto a pet bowl.

Another bowl place near can also be filled with water.

By any customer way have regular customers.

They tell us it's our ritual.

A kid collect bottles and then comes up to their parents saying Let's go and feed the animals To raise a socially responsible generation is our main aim way.

Ramos has already teamed up with a Ukrainian charity for the initiative and hopes to expand the project by installing more machines in Ukraine as well as new ones placed indoors.
