Ridwell is a service that makes it easy to reuse and recycle more of your stuff. We identify recyclable and reusable items that the city doesn't collect, pick them up from our customers' doorsteps, and match them with local partners that can use them sustainably. We regularly pick up thin plastics, clothes, batteries, light bulbs, styrofoam, and a featured category that rotates. The featured category is typically an item in demand from a local non-profit.
We offer a strong benefits package and this is a unique opportunity to get in at the beginning and help build something special!
