Keep Britain tidy

Published:

ANIMAL lover Alison Vaughan is the entrepreneur behind a simple, yet effective, device called muksak.

The device offers a solution to counter one of the “top 10” social nuisances in Europe – dog fouling – and the problem of discarded “poo” bags that helps to heighten Britain’s litter problem.

It is estimated that Britain’s growing dog population (about 6.8million) produces 900 tonnes of waste per day. And that it is the cause of almost 250,000 complaints to local councils every year. Apart from being a serious threat to human health, farming and wildlife, dog “poo” and bags are causing a national problem – 95% of the nation is concerned with dog mess, a recent survey revealed.

And there is no excuse. Picking up after your dog has been laid down among the responsible dog-owning community as sacred – but what if an appropriate bin is not in the near vicinity to allow for its convenient and proper disposal?

Offering a solution to carrying your dog’s smelly “poo” bag to the nearest bin (in some cases, it may be a long way) muksak is a small personal “poo” bin that can travel with you and hold your full bags until you reach a bin or return home.

The compact airtight container makes it easier to act responsibly and removes the temptation to dump bags.

It’s specially designed seal and click lock guarantees its contents will be smell and leak-proof.
