The Keep Refillery

The Keep Refillery opened its first location in Creemore in March 2020. Since then, they’ve added locations in Meaford, Kingston and Toronto and saved over 125,000 single-use plastics from ending up in lakes, rivers and landfills. Their goal is to eliminate single-use plastics and make refilling available to all. Refilling is simple. It’s rooted in the idea that people never again throw out an empty shampoo bottle. Instead, they bring it to The Keep and refill it with their all-natural, plant-based, biodegradable and micro-plastic-free product – creating zero plastic waste. The product line includes all personal and home cleaning products.
