Take a tour of the map below to find 100+ local businesses proudly part of our Ithaca Reduces Reuse Network Program that started with the BYO (Bring Your Own) containers campaign with the inspiration from Zero-Waste Chef’s blog post. Businesses proudly display our stickers to show their commitment to reuse and sustainability, inviting customers to bring their own containers for refill. It’s a simple way to promote eco-friendly practices and encourage community engagement. See our sticker designs here.
In addition to BYO, we now run two more awesome initiatives in the map below:
1. BYO (Bring Your Own) in GREEN 💚 pins
2. Skip the Stuff (utensils etc. available only upon request) in ORANGE 🧡 pins
3. Circular Economy in YELLOW 💛 pins for thrift stores and non-food businesses
We use BLUE 💙 pins for businesses offering both BYO and Skip the Stuff options.
Keep scrolling to explore the list of these eco-friendly businesses. The list is in alphabetical order, categorized by towns.
Please reach out to us at info@zerowasteithaca.org if you know a business owner who will be receptive to our program, or if you know an organization that can support our reuse effort.
Beyond Ithaca, we work actively with BYO programs across the country through the network BYO – US Reduces and work with New York State legislators to pass a fully amended “Rights to Refill” BYO bill. Please get in touch if you are interested in getting involved in the advocacy efforts at info@zerowasteithaca.org.
