 Welcome to the first zero waste shop in San Diego where you can shop for groceries and create virtually no trash Unlike the average grocery store where when you shop there you walk out looking like this This shop is called the mighty bin and as you can see the bins are very mighty How it works is you simply bring your own containers Then you bring them up and you get them weighed and then you fill the containers with whatever you want You only pay for the weight of the food with no packaging and If you walk in on the streets and don't have your own container you can use one of theirs You can get things like seeds and grains and beans noodles dozens of unpackaged spices and loose leaf teas and You can even grind your own peanut butter sugar and flour and Nuts and coffee you can get oil and vinegar in your own bottles You can even bring your own container for soaps and laundry detergent. You could get package-free produce You can get your milk in a returnable bottle that gets refilled even tofu that's unpackaged and of course locally made bread and Pastries and even package-free treats for your dog And if you don't have space to compost at your own home They actually have a compost bucket system where you simply fill your bucket with food scraps and then swap it out for a clean one Helping you to live truly zero waste Zero waste shops like the mighty bin are popping up all over the world But you don't need to have a zero waste shop to be able to shop zero waste many grocery stores have bulk sections just like this that you can shop from and Of course, you can get your produce from local farmers and the farmers market and local gardeners or grow your own Unlike your typical grocery store where everything is wrapped in plastic and you come out bogged down in consumerism At zero waste shops like this you can live a zero waste life
