Testimonial
"Using compost made from temple offerings feels like growing plants with blessings. It’s sacred soil."
— Ramesh Chandra, Devotee & Gardener
The Results
Within weeks, the temple stopped dumping waste into water bodies. Instead, it began producing clean, earthy compost that was packaged and distributed or sold to devotees. Because the compost originated from sacred offerings, it was received with great reverence—used by many devotees in their home gardens and balcony plants as a blessing for growth.
This simple shift not only made the temple waste-free but also turned pollution into devotion.
The Solution
Riteways introduced the TALLBOY® Flower Waste Composting Machine, a natural and decentralized composting system, right inside the temple premises. The TALLBOY® unit transformed daily organic waste into nutrient-rich compost using aerobic decomposition—no electricity, no chemicals, no smell.
The Problem
The historic Hanuman Mandir in Meerut was grappling with an ever-growing pile of flower waste and leftover food offerings. As a common practice, the temple had been disposing of flower garlands and organic remnants into nearby water bodies. This not only led to severe water pollution but also contradicted the temple's spiritual duty to protect nature.
