World Cleanup Day
Gugutka – the little village that gave a big start to World Cleanup Day, uniting people who care about nature. Tintyava Exploration gathered more than 100 bags of waste and litter from the Gugutka village and along the banks of the Byala River.
Waste collection initiative
The Rozino project lies within the municipality of Ivaylovgrad in southeast Bulgaria, approximately 350km by road east-southeast of the capital, Sofia. The town of Ivaylovgrad, with a population of over 6,000, is the administrative centre of the municipality.
Velocity designed and provided recycling facilities to the municipality of Ivaylovgrad including: plastic bottle collection houses and metal heart collection bins for bottle caps. These recycling facilities, the first in the municipality, have been placed in publicly accessible locations and will result in a cleaner, greener and more beautiful town of Ivalylovgrad.
In addition to environmentally sound management of waste, the recycling of plastic bottles and caps will provide funds to the municipality to support various educational, other eco-activities and other initiatives of interest to the community.
Bus Shelter
Public transit supports the population within the municipality of Ivaylovgrad, which has about 50 urban centres within an area that covers almost 820 sq.km. of rolling, low-mountain terrain in southeast Bulgaria.
With agreement from the Mayor of Ivaylovgrad, Velocity provided a bus stop for the village of Planinets.
