October 3, 2024, Mumbai: Diwali Waste Collection Drive, ReCircle’s flagship and most well-liked user-driven program, is evidence of the company’s dedication to creating a circular environment.
With the goal of collecting an incredible 40,000 kg of waste (equivalent to 14 lakh chip packets) and diverting it from landfills and our water bodies back into the economy, ReCircle is holding its largest Diwali Waste Collection Drive in Mumbai from October 14–27, 2024. This will ensure complete traceability and transparency.
ReCircle has demonstrated its commitment to achieving circularity through its evolution from a platform for scrap dealers to a clean-tech startup that empowers consumers and businesses to stop plastic pollution. More recently, the company has adopted procedures for recovering textile waste.

“This year, we have even higher goals for ourselves: we want to divert an incredible 40,000 kg of waste, and we know that the community can work together to promote circularity to help us achieve this. Customers are keen to adopt sustainable practices and modify their purchase patterns. For this reason, we think that every sign-up will make a big difference in making Mumbai cleaner. Rahul Nainani, CEO & Co-Founder of ReCircle, stated, “With the will, we can recycle our #PuranaSamaan and keep it all out of landfills and oceans.”
At our Material Recovery Facility (MRF), Dahisar, Mumbai, the collected garbage will be separated by ReCircle’s informal waste workers or Safai Saathis before being cleaned, processed, and dumped.
After being treated, this waste will be delivered to recyclers so they may turn it into granules. The granules are subsequently transformed into new goods, according to ReCircle’s COO and co-founder Gurashish Singh Sahni.
All revenues from individual homes, societies, schools, colleges, and offices participating in #PuranaSamaan—a partnership with Dabur India Limited—will be given to St. Catherine School of Siena and Orphanage, ReCircle’s partner NGO of the past four years. The nonprofit’s mission is to empower impoverished children by providing a safe haven and empowering them via education and rehabilitation-focused initiatives. Waste is transformed into something genuinely beneficial for those in need by the flagship effort in Mumbai. By using ReCircle to divert waste, people do more than simply tidy up your area—they’re helping impoverished children have a better future.
When we work together, garbage may be transformed into a valuable resource that actually changes things.
ReCircle has steadily increased its environmental and social effect over the last three editions. The company started off with about 5000 kg in 2021 and increased to 10,000 kg in 2022 and 20,000 kg in 2023. Last Diwali, ReCircle collected 20,369 kgs, surpassing its objective because to the perseverance, hard work, and dedication of our staff as well as the spirit of Mumbai as a whole. ReCircle is once again rewriting the story surrounding waste throughout this holiday season.
