Fillagreen — Local services in Manassas

Do you want to reduce your plastic waste, but you don't know where to begin??

Fillagreen is here for YOU!

The owners and staff are very knowledgeable and friendly about environmental issues and ways you can reduce your impact without having to settle for less-useful products. Every product they sell is high-quality,ethically sourced, and EFFECTIVE. Their hypoallergenic laundry detergent, for example, is 2x as concentrated as store-bought, and is completely effective with even grease stains.

Furthermore, (within a 10-mile radius of the store), you can place an order online, they will pick up your containers, fill them, and return them to you. Incredible service.

They also collect "film plastic" (i.e. plastic grocery bags, cellophane wrappings, etc), which cannot be recycled normally, as it will clog the machines. This collected film plastic will be processed and go on to be made into Trex lumber for decks and benches. The owners want to be contributing members of the Manassas Community, so they offer occasional classes and events to bring people together and educate. (For example, how to make old books into art, such as the "REUSE" Book in the attached picture)

All-in-all, Fillagreen is a charming store full of useful, effective, affordable products, staffed by people who really believe in the 3 R's - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (in that order).

Welcome to Manassas! I hope your business thrives and makes our world a...

Very cute store! My only problem with it was that this place is significantly more expensive than other refill stores I have been to. I usually get my shampoo bars for $15. It was around $25 here without discount. Conditioner bars I usually pay around $18. Here, they are a little over $31. I bought a shampoo bar from Fillagreen, and I haven't noticed any difference in quality to the ones I've been using.

Their dryer balls are a little over $6 each with buy 5 get 1 free. You can buy 6 organic, New Zealand wool dryer balls for $10 from places like Amazon or other refill stores/markets as well. I think prices like what they have here are why people think sustainable living isn't attainable or something they can keep up with. So, absolutely look elsewhere if you're in that boat!

At other refill stores, I've gotten- -A locally made wooden soap bar saver for $8. -A bamboo dish brush for $8 -Locally made charcoal Facewash bar for $10.

Overall, it was a lovely store, and the woman working was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. But if you're new to refill stores or just on a budget, there's absolutely cheaper options out there that are just as good as what...

I stumbled upon fillagreen today! I’ve always been intrigued by these types of places and the older I’ve gotten the more I want to reduce waste and make better choices. I stopped in on my way back to my car and the lady was so lovely and informative. I picked a few things to try and will be back soon to try more and hopefully get a solid rotation of products started in my house. I appreciated her sharing her experiences with the deodorant paste and giving me a couple sample packs to try. I also loved that they didn’t try to push buying jars on me and had a lovely selection of free ones to use. I was also surprised by the prices. I was expecting to spend more and spent far less than I...
