BYOC Co is working to solve the plastic problem with a really unique and cost-saving solution. They've developed a refill station for common home and personal care products. Bring a container or use a donated one of theirs to stock up on laundry detergents and boosters, shampoos and conditioners, dish and hand soaps, lotion and deodorant as well as toothpaste, various brushes and scrubs, and so much more. You only pay for the product you take, not the packaging.
I brought in several small containers to try some stuff prior to committing to a bigger refill to make sure I liked it. Some products, like dish and hand soaps and glass cleaner, I've been sold on! The dish detergent packs didn't work for me and a few other products I'm still trying out or getting used to. I love how cost effective it is. Lots of products are made locally and everything is environmentally friendly.
It's an easy system to refill. Just weigh your brought, bought, or donated container, scan a tag with the weight and attach to your container, refill, then check out. The staff is super friendly and was helpful in explaining the system to me my first time in. read more
