Do you know how tell the difference between our two plastic categories?
Plastic film is for the soft & stretchy plastics like plastic bags, Amazon mailers, produce bags, and bread bags. If you can poke your thumb through it, itās plastic film!
Multi-layer plastic is for crinkly plastics like chip bags, snack wrappers, coffee bags, and produce netting. Multi-layer plastics wonāt budge when you try to poke your thumb through, because theyāre made of multiple layers, generally to help keep food fresh & protected from sun and oxygen exposure.
If you ever have questions about what items go in what category, you can mail or text us and our member support will help you out.
Happy Earth month!!š§”š In April alone, Ridwell members diverted more than 1 million pounds of waste from landfills! Thank you to all our members, partners, and teammates who make it possible!
Ridwell was started by a dad and his 6 year-old son, Owen, when they realized how difficult it was to find places that would actually recycle the stuff that had been building up around their house like plastics, batteries, and lightbulbs. They discovered that many of their neighbors had the same challenge, and set out on a neighborhood mission to make it easier to waste less. That project turned into Ridwell, which was helped members divert 42+ million pounds of waste from landfills ā and helped hundreds of non-profit partners along the way! Weāre committed to making it easier than ever to waste less š§”

Talking Trash with @laurenlyster@o_lewis on @ktlaweekendam and sharing a few simple and convenient ways to reduce and TRULY recycle your waste!
Facts: Americans throw out 4.9 pounds of trash per person every day ā thatās nearly 1,800 pounds of materials per American every year!
Around 40% of what we throw away is food waste that can be easily diverted from landfills.

Weāre big fans of public media ā so when @knkx885 , Seattleās home for jazz, blues, and @npr news, needed help with their plastic waste, we jumped at the chance to help.
Hereās Cris, who listens to KNKX every morning, picking up plastics from their studio, which will be recycled into composite decking.
Thanks for being green, KNKX. Hereās to more collabs like this one š§”š
