Leaf Bank is a bank located in Delhi.[5] People deposit the fallen dry leaves of the autumn season in the Delhi Leaf Bank, and receive compost from the next year as interest.[6][7] People are also given certificates from this bank after depositing the leaves, by showing which people can get compost.[8]

Process

The leaves are collected in large quantities. These leaves are kept in polythene bags for a few days. After this, nitrogen is sprayed on these leaves from time to time. Slowly the leaves decompose and within a few months the compost is ready.[9]
