• Shop the Bulk Department. There are hundreds of items that come without the extra packaging, plus you can shop with your own containers (or reuse the ones we provide).
  • Choose products that come in reusable glass containers like milk and our on-tap kombucha.
  • Put produce in reusable mesh bags or recyclable/compostable paper bags. You can also wash and reuse plastic bags, or don’t use a bag at all.
  • If you are dining in our Café, use a reusable plate, silverware, and cups.
  • Bring your own mug for hot drinks or mason jar for juice or smoothies (we’ll even give you a 10 cent credit for each time you use your own mug).
  • Use a stainless steel straw. We have U-Konserve straws with cleaners available for $4.99 each.
  • Shop with reusable tote bags (You earn a 10 cent bag credit for each reusable shopping tote you use at the Co-op).
  • Use our paper bags again and again. Our paper bags are generally sturdy enough to reuse for your next shopping trip and have a great second life for collecting garbage or recycling. You can also compost them.
