A company in the Globeville neighborhood in Denver is aiming to reduce waste around the Denver metro area by collecting items not typically accepted by municipal recycling programs.

Ridwell, a Seattle-based recycling company, expanded to Denver and its surrounding communities in 2021.

“There’s clothing, plastic bags, light bulbs, and batteries, and then each pickup there’s a featured category,” said Hayes, the GM of Ridwell’s Denver operation. According to Hayes, the bags, bubble wrap, and food wrappers are sent to a company that uses the plastic to make deck panels. The clothes are often sent to ARC Thrift stores, or to other nonprofits that upcycle them in other ways.

For Pamela Walshe, paying for the pick-up service beats driving to multiple recycling facilities around town, which she used to do.Since last year, she’s seen the benefits as a customer and as a recipient.
