Help Irene keep multi-layer plastic from landfills!
Hi, I am Irene, a junior at Westridge School who is concerned about the climate crisis. I’m organizing a free pickup of multi-layer plastic on Sat, 1/18 from homes in 91103, 91501 & 91001 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!

"Hi, my name is Irene, and I've always been interested in reducing single-use plastics by creating something new. There are so many easy ways to reuse materials that can make a significant difference, and I want to share these ideas with my community!”
- Irene, 11th grader at Westridge SchoolHow 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.” Irene 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, 91501 & 91001!
