What is Leaf Bank?

🏦

India's First Leaf Banking System

Leaf Bank is Delhi's innovative environmental initiative where people deposit fallen autumn leaves and receive compost as interest in return.

पतझड़ के सूखे पत्तों का बैंक, जहां ब्याज में मिलती है उपजाऊ खाद

🌿

The Unique Concept

Just like money in a bank earns interest, your deposited leaves earn you nutrient-rich compost after the decomposition process.

Deposit: Dry Autumn Leaves

Interest: Organic Compost

🎯

Our Mission

To transform urban waste into wealth while addressing Delhi's air pollution caused by burning of dry leaves during autumn.

पर्यावरण संरक्षण और प्रदूषण नियंत्रण का अनूठा प्रयास

How Leaf Bank Works

1

Leaf Collection

Residents collect and deposit dry autumn leaves at designated Leaf Bank collection centers across Delhi.

Nitrogen Treatment

Regular nitrogen spraying accelerates decomposition while maintaining nutrient balance.

नाइट्रोजन छिड़काव द्वारा कम्पोस्टिंग
