This is a dangerous spot for your wallet if you care about what goes on your body and are trying to reduce your carbon foot print!! If you're tired of re-purchasing items for a single time use, the Waste Less shop makes it really easy to cut down on bulky packaging and re-using what you have. They even offer donated jars/ bottles so if you forget your own or want to try something, you only pay the cost of the product. I always enjoy going in on Tuesdays for refills on laundry detergent, shampoo, and body wash. (Tuesdays are 10% off for Tap Tuesday). Essential oils can be added for scent. They offers different products types like dry shampoo, sunscreen, deodorant, skincare, tinctures, tea, and some thrifted clothes for women and babies. Waste Less will also put on themed community swap events from time to time which is always very fun and nice to donate with purpose and to try new things for free. Whether you're starting to make the switch to more eco-friendly products or you're looking for more eco-conscious gift ideas, this is the place to go! read more

I enjoy stopping in here for shampoo and conditioner bars. The products themselves are very good quality and last a good 4 months with washing my hair every other day. I also like their literal zero waste everything. It's a great place to go to get ideas on how to reduce waste and also fond reusable products that aren't always easily sourced. The price is a little high up front but when you think about how often you'll reuse items from the store it starts to make sense and ends up being cheaper in the long run. In addition the staff has always been very helpful and nice. read more

They are decorated so cute for the holidays and so many great gift ideas. Or just shop for yourself and have an amazing smelling home with less waste! read more

What a cute little shop with fantastic local treasures. There are so many things to look at and all sourced by local businesses.

I just strolled into the store to kill some time and met the loveliest employee. Aleks (spelling?). I could've sworn she was the owner by how proud she was to work there and how much product knowledge she had. I bought some amazing products that I probably should have introduced into my daily life years ago. Such a great store and great energy. Cheers to Aleks! read more

8/4/2022 Curious minds want to know (that's me)... Situated a few doors away from where I was, and glad I stopped in. Store is very open and spacious.. Looking for a few Knick knacks for the eco friendly son.. Owner was very friendly and helpful! Picked up a few things to surprise my son next week when I go back down the hill. Have a good feeling, I'll be shopping here for Christmas.. read more

Great surprise shop. This shop is new since my last visit to the Village. What a great idea and products. Bring your own containers and stock up on many household and personal products. There are also containers available for purchase if you forgot. The first product to catch my eye was the shampoo and conditioner bars. No bottles, no leaks. I picked up a conditioner bar to use on my next trip. No more worries about messes in the luggage. The other product I'm trying is the toilet cleaner. Drop the tab in, let it fizz and less scrubbing. And / or drop one in the tank. For regular use liquid items, you can purchase in bulk from the taps. Seriously, taps of laundry soap, hand cleaner, vinegar, hand sanitizer and more. Many of the products are locally sourced. The Pantry and Sage & Sittie were known names for me. The staff was very knowledgeable on all the products in the shop. She even offered different suggestions for the products. Great idea for less waste going to the landfills. Easy and lots of parking right behind the shop. read more

From laundry soap to dish detergent and liquid shampoo to hair conditioner bars you have plenty of options to choose from and for those liquid items, you can either bring your own glass containers or buy some there along with different pumps and pour tubes. In addition to daily home and body use products, they also provide sustainable thrifted clothing options, children's toys, locally made items and more!

Brand new store, maybe a couple of weeks old. Kind of a bulk apothecary, soaps, and oils shop. I am going to like patronizing this shop as I am allergic to most synthetic fragrances and use essential oils for "primping" They have eco friendly toiletries; toothpaste, shampoo, cleaning supplies and they also have glass bottles (you can also bring your own) for the bulk items. Well staffed. Friendly and helpful. Really nice shop for these conscious living items. read more

Wait, what is happening here?? First of all you smell this place before you land eyes on it. I can't believe it's in Reno of all places. I live in LA and have never in my years of snowflake, privileged, tree hugging living seen a Refillery Station. What the devil is that you say? I said it too. It's where you bring or buy your reusable containers and fill up on everything from body and home care. So you can come get a reup on your cleaning supplies or lotions, soaps and all other cleansing products for your personal bits. It's all natural, sustainable and good for our previous Mother. Someday the world depresses me with its greed, carelessness, entitlement, but this kinda place gives me hope. I am all in!! Also, extra props cause it's woman owned!! read more

I refill my laundry detergent, face wash, shampoo, conditioner, and face moisturizer here. I feel good about recycling my containers by just getting them refilled. You can add essential oils to products to make it fragrant. They have several to choose from it is a small added cost. I have sensitive skin and have never had any irritations. Their products are good quality. They have clothing, candles, teas, make-up, jewelry, and so many more products in store for you to shop around. read more

Every city and every town needs a store like this! I was out of hair product and have been waiting to see what this place is all about. If you care about your planet (Our Home) then this place is a MUST! I got both shampoo and conditioner and bought my own refillable jars but there's so much you can get filled and refilled here! I'm talking detergent, body wash, face scrubs, dish soap and so much more! You can even bring your own canister to fill up. You can get compost bins, local teas, cleaners, and even beauty products. Such an amazing, and necessary shop. You like plants?? There's so many neat ones in here for sale by a local botanist! Definitely the best store in town! Will be back for sure read more

Such a unique and useful shop to have here in Reno! The Waste Less Shop is a female-owned small business that supports sustainable living. Everything in their shop has the environment in mind and is designed for reusing and recycling. They have many natural products that I have never seen or heard of before. Some of their products include greeting cards that have seeds and can be planted after use, concentrate powder for cleaning solution that you just add hot water to, reusable stretchy bowl lids, soaps, non-paper paper towels, and even skin care and makeup. They have something for everyone! One of the main features of this shop is their draft refill bar where they have their 10 top selling bulk items on tap (think shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc). You can use their glass bottles to keep coming back here to refill your favorite products. They even sell some local products from other Reno businesses like Sierra Root Wellness including their teas and oxymels. One of my favorite things I saw in the shop was a basket where you can donate your old cloth face masks to be turned into blankets for the homeless. This is such a cute shop with great values, it makes you feel good to shop here knowing you are helping the environment and supporting sustainability. read more

The Waste Less Shop just opened, but I can already tell they're going to be one of my favorite stores in Reno! Came to their grand opening and was blown away by the customer service and variety of products in their shop. I hate disposable plastics, but it can be so hard to make the change or understand the options available, but at The Waste Less Shop they have almost household cleaning item you can think of in a sustainable, eco-friendly format! Shampoo, conditioner, laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, toothpaste etc etc etc -- the list goes on. They have things individually for purchase, and also a giant on-tap refill bar of supplies that you can purchase by the oz. Bring in your own container or they have some pretty cute ones in the store as well! Every employee I interacted with, from owner to cashier, was super friendly and happy to explain anything or answer any questions. I even joked about if one of the taps dispensed wine, and would you believe it -- it's something they're exploring too! Yes please! I also loved that this business supports OTHER local businesses too -- they have items from the Nest, a local soap maker, a plant shop, and more, I believe. It's just a great example of how buying local helps the whole community. read more

Such amazing products and service, it's nice to know what is inside the products I am using in my home around my pets . I love the concept of this place and I can't wait to go back soon! read more

The Waste Less Shop is my favorite. I'm obsessed with their sustainable mission and the high quality products they offer. My favorites include the face moisturizer, dishwasher pods, laundry pods, laundry softening salt, stain remover, toothpaste tabs, and more! When you go they always appreciate if you drop off your empty containers for others to use. read more

Manager was super rude and unwelcoming, super unprofessional. Heard her use curse words to customers (whom she seems to know well), which was very uncomfortable. Talks to her fellow associates poorly, she demands them around and makes them look dumb in front of employees. You can tell she lets her emotions get too much in the way. read more

Love this place! Products are amazing. Shampoo, body wash, are my "go to" products. But lots more products to choose from as well.

Love this store and hope it does well. Great products, great service, and great philosophy! I buy things for myself and as gifts.
