Ridwell is launching in the East Bay!
We have big news! Ridwell is officially launching in the East Bay! We are grateful to our members for powering our growth and are delighted to finally be in the California sunshine helping the Bay Area waste less.
Curious about when we’ll be in your neighborhood? Here are the top questions about our arrival in the East Bay for our newest Ridwell community members!
What areas will you be serving first?
We are starting pickups in Alameda and will be expanding neighborhood by neighborhood based on interest and signups on our waitlist.
When will you be in my part of the East Bay? How do I get you to pick up in my neighborhood faster?
After Alameda, the areas with the most interest will launch first, so tell your friends and spread the word to help us grow faster!
Where will my stuff end up in the East Bay?
We'll be working with some awesome local non-profits and specialty recyclers like the Alameda County Community Food Bank, Celebration Nation, Clean Earth, Trex, and many more to give your old stuff a second (or third or fourth) life.
What about San Francisco? Marin? The South Bay?
While we’re planning to serve the East Bay first, we have plans to expand to San Francisco, the Peninsula, and beyond after that. The best way to help us get to your area is to tell your friends and neighbors about us!
