Refill St Albans has been launched by a partnership between Plastic Free St Albans, the District Council, Affinity Water and the Business Improvement District. We want all visitors and residents to have access to free drinking water when they need it, therefore saving money and preventing waste. We are keen to encourage businesses to take part and show leadership in reducing the unnecessary waste and other environmental impacts associated with single use plastic bottles so that we can make St Albans a more sustainable place for residents and visitors.

Registering as a Refill Station in St Albans is easy! All you need to do is register on the Refill app, display the Refill sticker in your business window and let the world know that they can ask for a water refill expecting a warm welcome. To get signs and stickers you can reach out to the District Council Offices reception or email sustainability@stalbans.gov.uk.

The Refill Partnership has sponsored the installation of two water Refill Stations to the town centre (outside the District Offices) and to Verulamium Park (near the pavillion). These will be installed by October. Tesco’s Bags for Life funding has sponsored the installation of an additional refill fountain, which we hope to see in Clarence Park soon.

We’re always on the look out for volunteers to go and speak to businesses about joining the scheme. If you would like to get in touch with the Refill St Albans partnership please contact us on sustainability@stalbans.gov.uk
