What types of puja waste does Visharjan collect?

We collect flowers, garlands, idols (clay and plaster), incense ash, diyas, coconut shells, and other devotional offerings.

How do I schedule a pickup?

Book online via our website or call us. We offer same-day and next-day slots in most service areas.

What happens to the waste after collection?

Waste is carefully segregated at our facility. Flowers become incense and natural colours; clay idols are recycled into pottery; organic matter becomes compost.

Is the service available for temples?

Yes — we offer dedicated temple partnership programmes with regular scheduled pickups and impact reporting.

How much does a pickup cost?

Household pickups start at ₹50 for small quantities. Pricing depends on volume and frequency. Temple partnerships are priced separately.

The Process

From Sacred Offering to Second Life

Four simple steps connect your doorstep to a cleaner river, a healthier earth, and the hands of artisans who transform devotion into craft.

How Visharjan Works

A Closed Loop, Rooted in Reverence

Most puja waste ends up in rivers, landfills, or on roadsides — not because people don't care, but because there's no better option. Visharjan is that option. We've built a simple, dignified system that collects what you offer, processes it responsibly, and returns it to the world as something useful.

Segregate

We Sort It at Our Facility

Every material has a different destiny.

Back at our processing centre, waste is carefully sorted by type: fresh flowers go to composting or dye extraction; dried flowers and herbs to incense production; clay and cow dung to pottery and diyas; fabric to our artisan upcycling unit. Nothing is mixed, nothing is wasted.

Flowers → compost, dye, incense
Clay & cow dung → diyas, pottery
Fabric → upcycled artisan products
Zero landfill policy

Recycle & Repurpose

Devotion Becomes Craft

The sacred cycle, unbroken.

Sorted materials are handed to our network of local artisans and our in-house production unit. Flowers become agarbatti and gulal. Clay becomes diyas and idols. Fabric becomes pouches and paper. The finished products are sold through our shop — and the proceeds fund the next collection.

Common Questions

Good to Know Before You Book

Household pickups are priced between ₹50 and ₹200 depending on volume and location. Temple and bulk pickups are quoted separately. We also offer free pickups for registered NGOs and schools.

We confirm your slot within 24 hours of your request. Most pickups happen within 2–3 days. For urgent or large-volume needs, call us directly and we'll do our best to accommodate.

No — our team handles source separation at your doorstep. If you can keep flowers separate from clay items, that helps, but it's not required. We'll take care of the rest.

POP idols cannot be composted or dissolved safely. We collect them separately and work with certified disposal partners to ensure they don't enter water bodies. We strongly encourage switching to clay idols — we sell them too.

Yes — we offer weekly, bi-weekly, and daily contracts for temples and trusts. Get in touch through our Temple Partnership form and we'll put together a custom proposal within 48 hours.
