The Associated Press reports that in Shanghai, China, the city has set up a collection station for dead pets. People can now take their dead pet and toss it into the collection bin at cost of 5 yuan (60 cents).

This was done because there are so many people in Shanghai, and with so many people there are so many pets. Compound that with so little space to bury a dead animal, and you've got a problem with people tossing dead pets into the rivers and garbage bins, creating a potential health hazard.

This new collection station will keep dead animals frozen in an ice storage container with a capacity of 5 tons. Then once a week the contents are sent to a suburban pet incinerator.
