About Ryan's Recycling:
In 2012 at the age of three, 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. Today, Ryan has customers all over Orange County, CA and has recycled over a million cans and bottles. His goal is to recycle in order to keep cans and bottles from reaching the ocean where it's harmful to the environment. Along with being a finalist for TIME Magazine's KID OF THE YEAR award in 2020, Ryan has been honored by numerous media outlets for his efforts including the Ellen DeGeneres show, Good Morning America and the TODAY SHOW.
