Our Circular Community

Today's trash is tomorrow's treasure. We're building a community around keeping waste out of landfills — give it to us, let us make something for you, or learn how to manage it yourself.

Local drop-off – Ahmedabad only
Before you send it

  • Rinse and dry every item
  • Remove leftover product or food residue
  • We can’t accept unwashed or wet waste

What are you sending? (Waste that we accept)

Got a sofa, suitcase, or cupboard you want us to transform?

Ship it to us and we’ll bring it back to life and ship it back. Share photos and dimensions and we’ll get you a quote on WhatsApp for the making cost.

Note: Make sure you send us the photo of the furniture that you want us to our magic on, so that we can share you the exact quotation for it.

Pick one of our existing designs and we’ll build it to fit your space.

Different from “Send us your piece“: here we build from our own materials and designs, sized to your space. If you want us to work with something you already own, use Send us your piece instead.

This is a customized version of one of our own designs and not a factory-identical copy. Every piece is handmade and hand-molded, so shape and colour can vary slightly from the original photos and from piece to piece. We’ll get as close to your dimensions as the material allows, and we’ll share photos of your actual piece before it ships so you know exactly what you’re getting.

Things Needed From you:

  • Dimensions needed (L x W x H, cm)
  • Any changes from the original? Room details?

Segregating your waste at home.

Sorting your household waste into the right bin is the first step in keeping it out of the landfill and it makes it much easier for us to put your dry waste to work.

Green Bin Wet Waste
Fruit peels Food scraps Garden waste

Note: Collected separately for composting (or biogas, where the municipality offers it) — never mixed with dry waste.

Blue / Yellow Bin Dry / Recyclable Waste
What we're looking for
Plastic Cardboard Metal scrap Fabric

Our Focus: This is exactly what we're looking for — clean, dry waste is the raw material behind our furniture and décor.

Red Bin Sanitary Waste
Pads & diapers Band-aids Used tissues

Wrap separately before disposal — biohazard-adjacent, not the same as chemical waste.
Wrapped and collected with municipal sanitary waste pickup — never with dry recyclables.

Black Bin Hazardous / E-Waste
Batteries E-waste Expired meds Syringes Chemicals/paint Glass

Note: Wrap glass and sharp items securely before disposing.
Needs a special drop-off — e-waste collection points, pharmacy take-back for medicines. Not your regular bins.

These categories follow Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation guidelines. Bin colours, enforcement, and availability can vary by area — check with your local ward if you’re unsure.

Beyond segregation

Home composting basics

A balcony or garden compost bin turns wet waste into usable soil in a few weeks. Layer “green” scraps (peels, food waste) with “brown” material (dry leaves, shredded paper), turn it occasionally, and skip meat or dairy in small home setups — they slow things down and attract pests.

Storage & hygiene between pickups

Rinse containers before storing them, keep dry waste in a covered bin, and flatten cardboard to save space. Waste that sits too long, especially anything with food residue, attracts pests — so don’t let clean and dirty waste share a bin.

Common mistakes

Chip packets, thermocol, and laminated or glossy paper look recyclable but usually aren’t — multi-layer plastic and coatings can’t be processed by most recyclers. When in doubt, keep it separate rather than contaminating a batch of good dry waste.

How Ramat Home uses it

Every clean bottle, wrapper, and cardboard box you donate becomes the core of a future chair, lamp, or console — reinforced with handcrafted papier-mâché. Read the full story in About Us.
