The Mahala Shop is more than just a place to find essential goods — it’s a reward-based recycling initiative designed to inspire environmental awareness and community upliftment. Through this innovative program, residents are encouraged to recycle to earn points, which can be exchanged for clothing, household items, and other essentials at the Mahala Shop.
How the Mahala Shop Works
01
Recycle to Earn Points
Community members collect and drop off recyclable items such as plastic, glass, paper, and metal at designated collection points. Each contribution earns points based on the type and amount of recyclables provided.
02
Exchange Points for Goods
Points earned through recycling can be redeemed at the Mahala Shop, where residents “shop” for essentials such as clothing, shoes, bedding, and household items.
03
A Dignified Experience
The shop creates an empowering experience, where individuals choose their own goods, giving them ownership over their needs while contributing to environmental sustainability
