Bin Inn is here! Well, in Lower Hutt anyway.
It's a mainstay of the Rubbish Free Year bloggers because everything is in bulk and you can take your own reuseable containers. I always felt envious because there was no such thing here.
But a branch opened at 418 High St about six months ago. I stumbled upon it in the weekend and had a quick look around. The things you can buy there in bulk! Pasta! Flour! Detergents! Lollies! Lentils! You can grind your own peanut butter. It is a plastic-free wonderland.
It's open on the weekends Sat 8.30-4 and Sun 10-3. Next time I'm out that way I'll be taking a clutch of my own bags and containers and filling everything up.
