About this center

Ridwell is a recycling service that aims to make waste reduction easy and sustainable for its members. They provide bags for collecting hard-to-recycle items such as plastic film, batteries, light bulbs, and threads, which are often disposed of without proper recycling solutions. Ridwell offers convenient pickups from members' front doors every two weeks, eliminating the need to take bins to the curb. The collected items are then recycled or reused by Ridwell's vetted partners, contributing to waste reduction efforts and supporting the community. Testimonials from members highlight the convenience and environmental impact of Ridwell's services, with many expressing appreciation for the opportunity to recycle responsibly and support local causes. Ridwell's origin story involves a father and son duo who started by collecting dead batteries and expanded their efforts into a community-driven initiative focused on reducing waste one pickup at a time.

A company that sends out an advertisement on a non recyclable brochure does not give a lot of confidence to the consumer that they actually care about recycling or the environment.... Seriously why a non recyclable advertisement sent in the mail? Recyclable would be cheaper and show you aren't hypocrites.

I absolutely love everything about Ridwell. The bags are incredibly easy to use pick ups are easy to schedule and they have so much great information about sorting items and what goes where after pick up. I even got a chance to go see their warehouse and know for a fact that everything is meticulously sorted and sent to partner business for recycling. Feels so good to not have to send things to landfill and feel guilty! Highly recommend!! Great company great people and feels amazing to be doing things that are good for the planet :)

Great mission. Great Company. Professional committed responsive staff. Good value. Easy to use. Because Ridwell can recycle those hard-to-recycle items we have reduced our garbage to a fourth of a bag a week. The best thing is that I KNOW that items I recycle with Ridwell will never end up in a landfill. Plus they're more than a recycling company. They help me re-purpose and re-home many items. A very community oriented earth friendly partner.
