Abstract

The issues related to the disposal of consumer waste are of great importance in ensuring the environmental safety not only of a particular region, but also of the entire planet as a whole. The article deals with the problem of environmental pollution with small rubbish (cigaretteends, plastic and glass bottle caps, etc.). To solve this problem, it is proposed to train the birds of the Corvidae family (Crows) to collect small debris and then hand it over to the apparatus for exchange for food. The authors presented the development of automatic exchangers of small debris for bird food, described the process of their work. This device can be placed in public places (forests, parks, alleys), in which there may be accumulations of small debris.
