Pongal Gift!
(Harvesting Festival)
Use Toilet! & Get Money


It may sound preposterous – but it is only too true.
You would have heard only of pay and use toilets.

From Pongal, January, 15th 2008, all those using the Ecosan Community Compost Toilet in Saliyar Street, Musiri, Trichy Dt.Tamilnadu India. will get paid.

Yes, urine and feces are so rich in nutrients for farm production that they are worth buying.

Those who use the toilets will be paid Ten paise per visit to ECCT. The payment will be made to all cardholders who will be using the ECCT on a monthly basis, said Mr. M.Subburaman, Director, Society for Community Organisation and Peoples Education (SCOPE).

The first Ecosan Community Compost Toilet in the country in Saliyar Street is functioning for the past 18 months. Every fortnight on an average 250 liters of urine is collected, the same is used for farming purposes. Already the Tamilnadu Agricultural University is studying the use of urine as liquid fertilizer for the past one year, under an MoU signed by SCOPE with the University. WASTE of Netherlands has funded, Rs. 4 lakhs for the two-year research project.

This is the first time anywhere in the world that toilet users are being paid, so they will appreciate the value of human waste – nay-wealth.
