Beginnings
One question.
"Why is recycling — the most obviously good thing to do — also the most annoying?" Founders Anant & Pooja set out to fix it.
Born in Mangaluru, growing across coastal Karnataka — we exist so the cleanest version of tomorrow becomes the easiest choice today.
For too long, recycling has meant rummaging through old phone numbers of scrap dealers, hoping someone shows up, hoping the weighing is fair, hoping it doesn't all just end up in a landfill anyway.
Prithvi Mitr removes every one of those frictions. One booking. One transparent transaction. One verified, traceable journey from your doorstep to a certified recycler. The way it always should have been.
"Why is recycling — the most obviously good thing to do — also the most annoying?" Founders Anant & Pooja set out to fix it.
We started with 12 households in Bejai. Within three months, word-of-mouth had us serving Kadri, Bendoor and Bejai with a single van.
From households to factories in Baikampady industrial area, we now run scheduled pickups across Mangaluru — and we're just getting started.
Live rates, in-person weighing, itemised receipts. You always know exactly what you're being paid and why.
Every kilogram is logged from your address to a certified recycler. Industrial clients get full compliance documentation.
We pick partners committed to closed-loop processing. Yesterday's scrap genuinely becomes tomorrow's product.
One booking is all it takes. Your first pickup costs nothing — and pays you back, both in cash and in conscience.
