Details

Oxford's largest dedicated zero-waste shop, The Village Refill, can be found nestled within Yarnton Home & Garden on Sandy Lane, Kidlington, offering a refreshing approach to your everyday shopping. This award-winning local independent business was born from a family's desire to reduce their own single-use plastic consumption and make sustainable choices more accessible to their community. They stock an extensive array of products, from organic cupboard staples like rice and pasta to refillable liquids, herbs, spices, and even milk, nut butter, and tahini on tap. You’re welcome to bring your own containers to fill, purchase new ones, or use the donated containers and paper bags provided in-store, buying as little or as much as you need.

Beyond a wide selection of food items, The Village Refill champions eco-friendly household cleaning products, natural, cruelty-free, and largely vegan skincare and beauty refills, and a variety of sustainable living items. Every product is meticulously researched to ensure it meets their strict sustainable guidelines, with a strong emphasis on sourcing from UK-based, independent, and local suppliers. Their friendly "Refill Heroes" are always on hand to answer questions and guide you through the zero-waste shopping experience, ensuring it's hassle-free. They also offer beautifully curated eco-friendly starter kits and gifts, perfect for those beginning their sustainable journey. Open seven days a week, it's a convenient and inspiring destination for anyone looking to reduce waste and support a local, family-run venture.

Amazing shop, has all the ingredients, treats, skincare, cleaning products you could need. Find something new each time I go and always feel really good after shopping there. Lovely staff too.

I feel so lucky to have a store like this near us! I started off just buying refillable hand soap here, this quickly led to other bath & shower products, washing up liquid and kitchen cleaner etc. But we now frequently also buy coffee beans, dried food, snacks & sweets. I love their make up range too! Staff are super friendly & helpful, and the prices are great. I always feel good shopping here!

Have been refilling my shampoo and conditioner for a year now. This little shop has a great variety of product and reasonable prices. Staff are always friendly. Will keep on my little contribution to a better environment

A couple of months ago I came across the refill shop in Yarnton nurseries and I brought Up Circle’s coffee face serum. It’s fantastic serum, which is important! Also of great importance is you can refill it here and make a saving of £5 by reusing the glass bottle and pipet. They have loads of other refillable goodies, plus you’re supporting a local business!

A great, easy to use website with a wide range of thoughtfully sourced effective, stylish, good quality but more importantly eco-friendly products with no plastic in sight. I can buy products in glass returnable bottles or choose to have my own bottles re-filled on my doorstep. I particularly like the many SESI products they stock, including hand soap, laundry liquid, and washing up liquid. Friendly, efficient customer care and very helpful with advice when I haven't been too sure about a product. It's good to use a company run by forward thinking people where there is a genuine care for the environment.
