Help Soren keep multi-layer plastic from landfills!

Hi, I am Soren, a freshman at Cresenta Valley High 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 91214, 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 1/12/25

"Hello, my name is Soren Cooper. I am 14 years old, and I have been leading environmental events since I was in second grade. I am excited to see how much trash we can collect as a neighborhood team and keep it out of landfills.”

How 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.” Soren 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 91214!
