Recycle From Home™ started as a collaborative concept between Ryan Bloom, Damion Hickman, and Ryan Hickman to come up with a unique way to serve the City of Irvine, California’s recycling needs. In 2020, the State of California notified recycling centers across the state that they were looking to start a pilot program and asked for business proposals to provide better access to recycling redemption for communities that needed it.
Recycle From Home’s concept of a mobile residential and office recycling service was selected and approved as part of that pilot program and its first city partnership was with the City of Irvine, California. Now serving multiple cities in Southern California, Recycle From Home™ is the only authorized mobile recycling service in the State of California providing customers a way to redeem their CA CRV recyclables without leaving the comfort of their homes or offices.
Ryan Hickman
In 2012 at the age of 3, Ryan went along with his dad to the local recycling center and cashed in a few small bags of cans and bottles, and decided that recycling was in his future. The day after going to the recycling center, Ryan notified his mom and dad that he wanted to give empty plastic bags to all the neighbors and maybe they would save their recyclables for him. Not only did the local neighbors save their cans and bottles for Ryan but so did their friends, families, and co-workers. Ryan grew Ryan’s Recycling to pick up from customers all over Orange County, CA and he has a passion to recycle that is amazing. His goal is to recycle to keep cans and bottles from reaching the ocean where it’s harmful to the environment.
