World Refill Day

World Refill Day blog header

Grab your clean containers, and kick trash and litter to the curb on World Refill Day! Check out the local businesses below, where you can refill dry goods, body products, and beverages all year round.

(If you’re bringing your own container, you’ll want to have staff weigh it and write the weight on it beforehand, so they don’t charge you for the weight of the container.)
