Ridwell

Ridwell is a certified B Corporation based in Washington that focuses on reducing landfill waste by facilitating the recycling and reuse of hard-to-recycle household items. Inspired by a father and son’s quest for proper recycling of old batteries, Ridwell offers a convenient doorstep pickup service for materials that are often excluded from traditional curbside recycling, such as plastic film, multi-layer plastics, batteries, light bulbs, and textiles.

The company operates primarily in the United States and collaborates with over 200 businesses and nonprofit organizations to ensure that collected items are responsibly reused or recycled. Ridwell’s membership-based model allows customers to pay a monthly fee for biweekly pickups, providing them with clearly labeled bags for different waste categories. Since its founding, Ridwell has successfully diverted over 22 million pounds of waste from landfills, making a significant impact in the recycling sector and helping environmentally conscious individuals reduce their environmental footprint.
