About the Company

Ridwell

Subscription-based door-to-door hard-to-recycle waste collection

Ridwell provides a subscription-based waste collection service that helps households recycle hard-to-recycle items. It offers door-to-door pickups every two weeks, picking up items like plastic film, batteries, light bulbs, and threads that are typically discarded. The collected waste is then recycled or reused by Ridwell's vetted partners. This makes recycling more convenient for households and keeps more material out of landfills. Ridwell differentiates itself by focusing specifically on hard-to-recycle items, offering a neighborhood-based, recurring pickup model, and building a community around waste reduction. The company’s goal is to reduce landfill waste and foster a culture of recycling and reuse.
