Ridwell, a doorstep sustainability service, announces its expansion to Santa Monica, marking the company’s first step into the vibrant city of Los Angeles. As an innovative leader in sustainable solutions, Ridwell, together with its network of more than 200 recycling businesses and community partners, diverts reusable and hard-to-recycle materials that curbside municipalities don’t pick up from households – items such as thin plastic film (produce bags, Amazon envelopes), multi-layer plastic (chip bags, candy bar wrappers, frozen food bags), batteries, lightbulbs, clothing, and more.
Ridwell services have already launched in select zip codes, which include 90401, 90402, 90403, 90404, and 90405. Santa Monica is the company’s initial launching point, and Ridwell is poised to expand throughout Los Angeles in the coming weeks. Residents can request that Ridwell bring its service to their zip code by joining its waitlist. More than 7,500 local households have requested Ridwell, sparking its L.A. launch, proving Angelenos’ interest in wasting less, and directly supporting the city’s ambitious climate targets.
“Angelenos have a close connection to the stunning natural beauty surrounding them. They want to protect the environment and waste less, and they’ve accelerated their actions to do so. This is the perfect moment for Ridwell to serve Los Angeles, starting with Santa Monica, said Ryan Metzger, Co-founder and CEO of Ridwell. Our mission is to make it easy to waste less. Doorstep by doorstep, we aim to inspire people to create a future without waste. We’re excited to join forces with households across LA to do just that. Small actions will lead to significant change.”
