Durga Katyayani Foundation
How It Works

From your altar
to the earth.

A seven-step process built on tradition, technology and total transparency.

  1. 01

    Awareness Drive

    We educate households, RWAs, schools and temples on conscious disposal through workshops and social campaigns.

  2. 02

    Collection Request

    You schedule a pickup online, via WhatsApp or by phone — or drop items at a partner location.

  3. 03

    Respectful Pickup

    Trained volunteers arrive in branded vehicles, package each item with care, and issue a digital receipt.

  4. 04

    Udvasana Puja

    A Vedic priest performs the traditional ceremony that releases the deity's presence before recycling begins.

  5. 05

    Material Segregation

    Items are separated by material — paper, glass, metal, clay, wood, plastic, cloth and organic matter.

  6. 06

    Certified Eco-Recycling

    Materials are processed through verified recyclers; clay and organics are composted or returned to soil.

  7. 07

    Environmental Impact

    Quarterly impact reports track materials diverted, water saved, and community engagement — published openly.
