What we take

We take what others can't or won't.

Curbside recycling programs haven't evolved in decades, and can't take many common household items. At Ridwell, we partner with innovators who use hard-to-recycle materials, so everything is responsibly recycled or reused—and kept out of landfills.

Recycling rules change from street to street. We complement curbside pickup, so what we take changes based on your address.
