Byrd's Filling Station

The idea for a refill station or zero waste shop came about slowly. With a full-time finance job, two young children, and an aging dog, I found myself making more and more purchases online. Feeling bad about the amount of waste from these purchases, I kept the boxes and fillers in the hopes of reusing. The mound of cardboard grew larger and larger, and eventually took over an entire coat closet in the front of our home. So grew our family’s weekly hauls to the garbage bins for the plastic wrap and tape.
