As a refillery we pride ourselves in being able to refill your personal bottles and jars. Recently we have been given the go ahead by Island Heath to refill personal containers under three qualifications. Your bottle must be empty, clean and thoroughly dried on the inside and out. We are thrilled to be able to do this for you but please note that if your container doesnt meet these qualifications we wont be able to refill. Over the past couple months we have implemented a b...ottle deposit system. This involves us supplying you with bottles for a small fee which is refunded to you when you bring back that bottle empty, clean and dry. This service is still available if we are unable to refill your personal container. Thank you for your patience and understanding during these uneasy times. We appreciate you and your support! Please share this with your fellow refillers See more

Soak of your coconut block and shredded newspaper w...ith 2 litres of water and spread the mixture lightly over the newspaper in the bottom of your tray. Add 1 pound of worms, red wiggler are available for purchase through our online store! Set your upper tray and lid on top and let your worms get used to their new home in a cool dark location of your home. Day 2: Feeding day! Start feeding your worms scraps such as most fruits, vegetables, cereals, grains etc. but be aware they do not like meat, dairy, salty foods, grass clippings, citrus etc. Do your research if youre unsure what products your worms will eat. Later: After several weeks the worms have done their work and its time to move to the upper tray. Repeat the coconut brick and newspaper mixture step and add food. Your worms will slowly migrate into the upper tray and begin the process again. Happy worms are productive worms!

Plastic Free July laundry tips and tricks! Keep reading to find out what changes you can make for a happier and healthier planet. Any pesky stains you need to scrub out before the wash? Try out the stain stick! This stain remover is small but mighty, battling anything from red wine to oil marks. Simply wet the stain, rub the stick directly on the spot, fold the fabric in half and scrub to lift the stain even more, then throw it in the wash. Plain and simple! TruEarth laun...dry strips are pretty well known in the zero waste sphere by now, youve probably seen them pop up on your Facebook or Instagram! If this is your first time hearing about laundry strips; its a convenient strip of detergent youd use instead of liquid or powder soap. No measuring required and just one strip per load. We have TruEarth available in fragrance free, baby and fresh linen. Next stop on the laundry routine; drying the laundry. Wool dryer balls are used for a variety of reasons but they specialize at reducing drying time. Throw 3-6 in with your wet laundry, as they bounce around your dryer they produce kinetic energy pulling your clothes out of a wet clump and allowing for more air flow. If youd like a scent in your clothes try adding a few drops of essential oil to the wool balls toward the end of the cycle for a more prominent scent. Have you switched to any of these eco friendly laundry alternatives yet? #sustainable #sustainableliving #plasticfree #plasticfreeliving #zerowaste #zerowasteliving #minimalwaste #minimalwasteliving #shoplocal #supportlocal #locallyowned #canadianowned #VictoriaBC #yyj #yyjsmallbusiness #plasticfreevictoria #plasticfreejuly #refillery #refilleryyyj #Reduce #Reuse #Rethink #Refill See more

We finally received our order of dish brushes just in time for the Plastic Free July feature on kitchen essentials! Today we are highlighting a variety of plant based washing up tools (ps. we have biodegradable dish soap too). The famous dish brush! This beechwood bush is sporting tampico fibre bristle to safely scrub away grime. The best part of this tool is that brush head is replaceable! When the bristles are looking tired and frazzled just pull the top off and pop on a ne...w top for maximum scrub action. On the left side of the jar we have the vegetable brush. You can use this handy scrubber for whatever your heart desires such as washing out the tub etc. but it also works wonders on those carrots and yams. Much like the dish brush its also made with beechwood and tampico fibre but also has the addition of a tougher union fibre bristle. Whats that funny wooden square for? Were glad you asked, thats a bamboo pot scraper! A sleek companion to battle any stuck on food. The curved edges fit along the contours of the most stubborn pots and pans.

New in the shop! There is something beautiful and inspiring about sustainably crafted house keeping tools that are as beautiful to look at as they are functional. Introducing the Cuban Mop. The simplicity of a traditional floor mop popular throughout Cuba and many southern states in the US, with the bonus of being hand made in Abbotsford, BC Canada using locally grown hemlock and a small wedge of African Purple Heart for a sturdy construction. Use with a damp soapy cloth for... washing floors or a dry cloth for dusting. Any large cloth will do: a hand towel, tea towel or even an old t-shirt! To use, place cloth on floor, put cross piece of mop in the centre of the cloth, and flip each corner inward to hold loosely in place. When you are finished mopping, the cloth can go directly into the laundry. #cubanmop #sustainablehousekeeping #zerowastehousekeeping #zerowasteliving #minimalwasteliving #plasticfree #plasticfreeliving #plasticfreejuly #sustainableliving #cleanfloors #madeinbc #madeincanada #VictoriaBC #yyj #refilleryyyj #Reduce #Reuse #Rethink #Refill

Plastic Free July has begun! Have you evaluated the plastic in your bathroom? How would you go about switching to a plastic free alternative? Where do you start?! We wanted to shoutout a few dental care products that can make your Plastic Free July just that little bit easier to navigate. First off the bamboo toothbrush; switching to a wooden toothbrush is one of the easiest steps to take when converting to a low waste bathroom. Moso bamboo is the fastest growing plant on e...arth and functions perfectly for toothbrushes. The bristles are dental grade nylon to provide a high quality brush but be sure to remove the bristles before disposing of the base! Second we have silk floss, another simple alternative to a generic bathroom product. This compostable silk floss is lightly waxed and even has a refillable glass dispenser! Lastly is the toothpaste tablet; these handy little tabs are great for on the go brushing. Crush one up in your mouth, brush with your wet toothbrush, spit and show off those pearly whites. These tablets are sold in a glass container that can be refilled when empty. If the tablet format isnt your style try our refillable toothpaste! Converting to a plastic free bathroom routine can seem intimidating. We are here to help make that process as easy as possible #sustainable #sustainableliving #plasticfree #plasticfreeliving #zerowaste #zerowasteliving #minimalwaste #minimalwasteliving #shoplocal #supportlocal #locallyowned #canadianowned #VictoriaBC #yyj #yyjsmallbusiness #plasticfreevictoria #plasticfreejuly #refillery #refilleryyyj #Reduce #Reuse #Rethink #Refill See more

Our shop has been rearranged to allow for better flow and social distancing and we remind you to heed the words of your mom and Look with your eyes, not with your hands while browsing to avoid unnecessary surface contact. Its been a crazy three months of trying to figure out how to completely change our entire business model of a Refillery to remain as zero waste as possible when we werent actually allowed to refill anything. Learning on the fly how to set up on line orders for pickup and delivery, dealing with suppliers who were completely closed down, ever changing health policies, staff having to move away for a while, twin 5 year olds without school or programs needing me to stay home with them, and worry over friends and family living in areas way more affected by COVID-19 than we were. A huge THANK YOU to all of you who continued to shop with us by ordering online or via the phone for pickups and deliveries. Your support allowed us to meet our rent when our landlord flat out told us things were business as usual when clearly they were not. Also a giant shout out to Jessica who came to the shop every day to fill those orders and greet you at the door or answer the phone when you called while I stayed home and attempted my hand at homeschooling and answering emails. I honestly dont know how we would have existed without her! We hope to see you in the shop soon! #openagain #zerowaste #refillery #victoriabc #yyj #shoplocal #Reduce #Reuse #Rethink #Refill

Vegetable starts have arrived! One of the most impactful things you can do to reduce your waste and carbon footprint is to eat locally grown foods. You cant get any more local than having your own back yard or balcony vegetable garden! Our friends from @littlest.acre.organics have provided us with a wide selection of heirloom tomato plants, cherry tomatoes, tomatillos, curly kale and Rainbow chard, all started from seed, in second hand pots, and certified organic. Quantiti...es are limited! All items are now available on our website (but excuse the lack of photos, they literally just got delivered and I havent had time to source out images for each variety!) Studies show that gardening is one of the best stress reducers, exposes you to vitamin D from the sun and a host of positive immune boosting microbes in the soil.
