Mole Valley District Council joined forces with City to Sea, the founders of the Refill Campaign, in September to tackle avoidable plastic waste with a local initiative, Refill Mole Valley.
This has resulted in an increase in the public availability of drinking water as businesses across Mole Valley have signed up to support the scheme – the 50th business to become a Refill Station being Tanhouse Farmshop at the Leith Hill Tower.
The development of this infrastructure of Refill Stations offering free drinking water means that residents and visitors to our area can easily find somewhere to fill up their re-usable bottles rather than having to purchase single-use bottled water.
The Refill Stations can be found either by coming across an establishment displaying a Refill sticker in their window, or by locating businesses on a map hosted on the Refill app, which can be downloaded for free from a device’s app store.
