Help Anya keep multi-layer plastic from landfills!
Hi, I am Anya, a sophomore at The Athenian School who is concerned about the climate crisis. I’m organizing a free pickup of multi-layer plastic on Sat, 1/25 from homes in 94506, 94549 & 94526 with the help of Ridwell who will get it turned into innovative drainage material. Please sign up and spread the word to neighbors so we can make our community a better and less wasteful place!
Register by 8 pm on 1/19/25
"In 2nd grade, I remember being devastated to learn that global warming was destroying polar bears' homes. Now, I look forward to better understanding our impact on these situations to make a difference in our community and support sustainability”

Collect your multi-layer plastic
This includes many types of flexible, food packaging, none of which can be recyled curbside (see all the details here). Collect it in a plastic bag (which will also be recycled!).
Leave it on your porch
On pickup day, just leave your bag on your porch (or another visible spot) by 8 am and label it “Ridwell.” Anya will come pick it up and bring it to Ridwell!
We’ll make sure your stuff gets recycled
Rather than spend 5,000 years in a landfill, Ridwell’s partner will give your multi-layer plastics new life as leach-free drainage material that can be used instead of PVC pipes!
Let’s clean up 94506, 94549 & 94526!
