About
Ridwell is a membership-based recycling service that picks up hard-to-recycle items—like plastic bags, snack packages, wine corks, and old clothes—from members' doors and routes them to vetted local partners. It offers both bi-weekly pickup service in select US cities and a nationwide mail-in option for difficult plastics. Members can track where their items end up, providing transparency beyond typical curbside recycling.
Problem
Most households cannot recycle many common items curbside, leading to unnecessary landfill waste.
For
Environmentally conscious households looking to recycle beyond what curbside programs accept
How it works
Members schedule bi-weekly pickups or mail in items, and Ridwell routes them to vetted recycling and reuse partners while showing members what their items become.
