Be the change! Join the Refill Revolution
Reigate & Banstead are looking for local businesses including cafes, restaurants, pubs, shops and zero waste stores to sign up as water Refill Stations.
The Refill scheme works by connecting people with locations where they can eat, drink and shop with less waste. If you would like to sign up as a Refill Station, simply sign up to the app and get a poster/sticker for your window.
Being featured as a Refill Station on the Refill app can:
- Save you money
- Keep your customers happy
- Increase footfall: The Refill app is a brilliant, and free, way to reach new potential customers.
- Boost sales: Refill (water) customers spend on average between £2.50 and £5 per visit.
- Protect where you love: Create lasting change in your community and help to prevent plastic pollution.
This project is being delivered with not-for-profit environmental organisation City to Sea and is funded by UK Government as part of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
