Refill Shops Around Newcastle

Updated: Sep 30


ree

It’s a great feeling to take a rucksack or reusable bag and return with NO containers or packaging! When we set out to reduce the amount of waste in our recycling bins, it makes a huge difference to use refill shops.


GENERAL TIPS

  • Paula: Simply take your container or purchase one of their own and enjoy buying household products without the guilt of plastic pollution.

  • Olwyn: Where possible, take the actual container you’re refilling - it avoids paper bags and means you get just the right amount

  • Sheila: Take your own containers. Exciting unusual stuff, and all the things you need. I go nearly every day

  • Olwyn: Save paper bags provided by shops and take them for your next refill purchase. Reuse glass jars as refill containers, also to transport drinking water

The Honey Tree

68 Heaton Road, Heaton, NE6 5HL


Deb: I highly recommend. You can refill everything from sunflower seeds to laundry liquid. They also offer organic veg and fruit box, to deliver or collect, and Piercebridge organic meat. Lovely people, too!

Olwyn adds: Easy to miss some product refills, out of sight behind the till. Organic veg can be pricier, but they do great deals from Saturday afternoon - usually a third off.

Buy The Kilo

Tynemouth Metro Station, Tynemouth NEJO 2TF


Pauline: I also like very much Buy the Kilo, run by Jackie Sewell and her daughter Rachael Brien. Really easy to get to by Metro, as it is right in the station, but also a nice excuse to cycle out to the coast. Lovely pasta and great variety of pulses, as well as lots of plastic-free bathroom stuff.
