Inauguration of new UDD toilet in a village in Bulgaria

The video shows the construction and inauguration party for a UDD toilet (urine-diversion dehydration) in a village in Bulgaria. These types of toilets separate urine from faeces and do not use water for flushing (see ecological sanitation or ecosan). The project was sponsored by WECF and WASTE and was implemented by the Bulgarian NGO Earth Forever in 2006 (see www.earthforever.org).

i stumbled on this video searching for village bulgaria. loved your music though. i really wish to find out how i can find more similiar to it. i love eco related things though, but i did not find you that way. you should include more keywords in your title in order to get more views from interested individuals. thank you for the information.

Hi, lovely video. where did you get the music from? Great job by the way! i'd love to learn more. where is this exactly - do you know the name of the town and what part of bulgaria this is in?

I will have to ask Diana Iskreva about the music... Her NGO was responsible - see the website address for the NGO called Earthforever in Bulgaria (for some reason, it doesn't let me put its website into this comment field, but you will find it easily).

The village is in Stara Zagora Municipality -- is it called Sulitsa.

Glad you liked it!

It appears that you are using some saw dust for smell. Please check our my video, it is for USA and other markets.

Hi Elizabeth,

The music was chosen by the person who did the video... It is a Balkan folk song. There is a variation in Bulgarian but also in Serbo-Harvatian. It was very popular in the 60s, and later on just revived.

Hi 'neprotivo'! Are you a Bulgarian?

Yes, the systems are built in Sulitsa, Stara Zagora Municipality. The next ones will be in Hrishteni and in Stara Zagora Spa - the same municipality.

How it happened that you have interest in ecosan?
