Why do you Ridwell?

As a Ridwell member and now a Community Builder, you’re in the position to inspire other folks to waste less. Will you take a moment to answer a few questions? We’ll share some responses with the larger Ridwell community in April for Earth Month!

Info session: School plastic film drives

Do you have school-age kids at home? Are you a teacher or school staff member? Have another tie to a local school?

Ridwell is running plastic film drives at schools this spring and we’re looking for volunteers to lead them. Schools that sign up 10 new members during their drive will earn a free year of Ridwell plastic pickups for their school! Learn more >

While the opportunity to lead a drive is open to all Ridwell members, we’re hosting a session just for Community Builders to chat about what makes a drive successful, ask questions, and share your input about the program.
