Thin plastics, or plastic film, are light-weight, flexible plastic material made from the by-products of oil refinement.
The city can accept a few plastic film items in your curbside bin, and for the rest you could drive around looking for a drop off. With Ridwell, we can take some of the common plastic film that can't go in your curbside bin off your hands, right from your doorstep.
As a core category, you will have a dedicated bag for plastic film. It is one of the most impactful for reducing household waste and global pollution.
While what we take in this category varies by city, here is what is generally included.
