Rabbit Recycling
Zero Waste in a Bucket
Rabbit Recycling is a sustainability-focused service that collects and recycles a wide range of household items, from electronics to textiles, which traditional curbside programs often reject. Operating primarily in Center City and nearby neighborhoods, it offers biweekly pickups, sorting materials like plastics, metals, and fabrics for reuse, upcycling, or re-entry into manufacturing. In 2024, Rabbit diverted over 50,000 pounds of waste from landfills, partnering with local organizations like Circle Compost to process items like batteries and Styrofoam. Its efforts reduce landfill strain and promote circular economy practices.
Local reviews highlight its convenience and environmental impact, though some note the subscription cost as a barrier. A 2025 PhillyVoice article praised Rabbit's innovative approach to urban waste management, emphasizing its role in reducing Philadelphia's carbon footprint. Directories list it as a key player in the city's recycling ecosystem, with a focus on accessibility and education through resources like its "Rabbit Reminders" Instagram archive. Customers report high satisfaction with the service's reliability and its measurable contribution to sustainable waste diversion.
