Wasting less, made easy.
We make it easy to sustainably reuse and recycle your stuff.
Here's how it works
Collect hard-to-recycle items in your Ridwell bags
We give you bags to store your plastic film, threads, and more.
These are things we dispose of every day without a good recycling or reuse solution.
Easy pickups from your front door
You don't have to take your bin to the curb. We come to your front door to make sure your stuff finds a new home.
We come to your neighborhood every two weeks, just let us know when you have stuff!
Feel great about where your stuff goes
Your stuff is recycled or reused by local partners dedicated to wasting less.
Together, Ridwell members save tons from the landfill every year to support our community, keep our oceans clean and build a brighter future.

Ridwell is an amazing service! It’s a no brainer to pay the reasonable cost to reduce your waste and make sure it gets to the right place.

Keeping household waste out of our landfill requires knowledge, time, and effort. Ridwell's collection services make it easy to recycle and pass along items we no longer need. Welcome to Portland!

Your concept is exceptional. Communication fantastic. Execution perfect. And you keep coming up with great new categories to gather and donate. It’s such a win for the entire community. Thank you!
Our story
We began with a father and son trying to do the right thing with dead batteries and seeing how hard it was.
On just nights and weekends, they offered pickups to their neighbors to help those around them waste less.
This turned into Ridwell, a large community of people sharing new ideas and making a difference one pickup at a time.
From your door to local partners,
get rid of things the right way.
