How much can you cram into the canvas bags!

It is crazy how much your canvas bags can hold! Kudos to whoever decided to use these bags! I love them!

No pick up done

Not happy today my bin has been out and full since yesterday afternoon and I received a message that my bin was not out and it was. I need this rectified ASAP.

A great service and a great price

A well designed and well run service that I really appreciate. When too many people are trying too many things that don’t work, Ridwell does a great job of doing exactly what it’s supposed to do. Couldn’t be happier.

Love this company!!

I can’t believe it took me so long to hop on this train. They are so great and communicate clearly and effectively each pick up. Between Ridwell, compost and recycling I barely produce any trash! It’s amazing.
