Sustainable Substitutes for Individuals/Homes
Reducing the amount of resources required to meet our needs is something that's within our control but it requires that we think outside of the box. Everyday collective choices of individuals have a profound impact on the bigger picture, policies, and corporate practices.
How do you dispose of items like batteries, small electronics, or lightbulbs? These items contain materials that are toxic to soil and water but not able to be disposed of in municipal curbside recycling. If disposed of through proper channels it can be repurposed to reduce pressures on the earth's precious resources.
Sign-up w/ our Waste Watchers program and start refilling your containers instead of the landfill. It's the concept of a milkman but for everything else. We offer many bathroom and kitchen staples.
Items listed below are for the Kansas City area. Don't live near KC but would like patio pickup refills on commonly used household products in your neck of the woods? Then please contact us as we strive to build a nationwide network.
