ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of Sorting Through Life, Colleen talks with Jens Narveson of Ridwell about what happens to our stuff when we’re done with it. Ridwell gives hard-to-recycle household items a next chapter by collecting them and connecting them with recycling and reuse partners that can turn them into something new.
From plastic film and textiles to batteries and light bulbs, they explore the surprising afterlife of everyday things, even the things we consider trash, and the possibilities for what our stuff can become when we’re done with it.
The conversation also goes beyond the recycling bin. Colleen explores the connection between our growing clutter problem and our consumption habits, and how organizing what we already own can help us buy less, avoid duplicates, and make more intentional choices about what comes into our homes.
