32 Bin Inn Stores nationwide for wholefoods and specialty groceries. All stores are owner operated with Bin Inn stores being a co-operative rather than a franchise. The Bin Inn concept started in 1988. Bin Inn offers customers the freedom to buy just as much or as little as they like to reduce wastage by only buying what they need. Customers can also reduce packaging waste by buying products from Bin Inn's self selection bins and barrels. Bin Inn shoppers can bring in their own containers and bottles to refill to avoid packaging waste and added costs - "pay for product not packaging". Bin Inn proudly sponsored the Rubbish Free Year Challenge in 2008 and Eco My Flat Competition in 2010.
