Help Ela keep multi-layer plastic from landfills!
Hi, I am Ela, a sophomore at Lake Washington High School who is concerned about the climate crisis. I’m organizing a free pickup of multi-layer plastic on Mon, 1/20 from homes in 98033, 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!

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.” Ela 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 98033!
