Yes you read that right, WIFI access for poo.... more specifically dog poo. Apparently getting dog owners to clean up after their pets has become such a large problem, that parks around Mexico City are now seeing pet waste disposal bins popping up all over. Except these are not your typical dump-sters.
Internet company Terra has teamed up with DDB Mexico to distribute free WIFI access to those who decide to clean up the doggy doo doo. The service itself sounds pretty straight forward, placing a baggy of waste in the bin activates the scale which weighs the droppings, and the WIFI is activated and a timer starts. The length of time this free service is available depends on the size of the deposit ... more poo = more minutes.
While this is a interesting and creative approach to solving the poop problem, the current system cannot distinguish between fecal matter and regular trash... either way i suppose it would help to keep the parks clean. Check out the video below to see the "Poo WIFI" service in action.
