Help Cheryl keep multi-layer plastic from landfills!
Hi, I am Cheryl, a junior at La Salle College Preparatory who is concerned about the climate crisis. I’m organizing a free pickup of multi-layer plastic on Fri, 1/17 from homes in 91103, 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!
Deadline to register is 1/12/25
"Multi-layered plastics pose significant threats to our ecosystems. They are not usually recycled but we have a unique opportunity to recycle them now! Let’s reduce landfill waste and create a cleaner, healthier planet for future generations!”
- Cheryl, 11th grader at La Salle College PrepHow it works
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.” Cheryl 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 91103!
