Why Shop With Us?
We Take the Stress Out of Reducing Waste
We've been on our own waste reduction journey for a few years now and know how tough it can be. It's not always easy to find the right products which reduce waste but don't mean a big change in lifestyle and budget.
The Little Green Weigh aims to take that stress away by having quality and affordable products all in one place. So whether you need a pasta top-up, toiletries or household cleaner we have sourced the right products for you.
We Support Independent Makers
We love to support other independent businesses and cherish every new amazing find. Our product makers are amazingly talented and passionate about what they do.
We also only work with makers who support our values of low waste, ensuring the products they share with us are sustainable, animal friendly and planet friendly.
We Care About Our Community
York is our home and where our children will grow up. We want to support our local community and environment as much as possible for a better future.
We are proud to work with so many local independent makers to support them and their families and keep money within the local economy.
We aim to work with the community to spread the word about reducing waste and protecting our beautiful city.
If you are part of a local group, school or business and would like to work with us please do get in touch at hello@thelittlegreenweigh.com
We Are Family Friendly
We have young children and know how difficult it can be shopping with them! So at The Little Green Weigh we aim to make your shopping experience as easy and enjoyable as possible.
We have a dedicated corner for kids to play, read and relax so parents/carers can relax too. We are also more than happy to entertain your little ones while you shop.
Please don't worry about them touching things, knocking things over or 'making a mess'. We understand kids are kids and want them and you to be comfortable.
We Can Bring Your Shopping To You
Although you can shop in store with us, sometimes that might not be convenient for you. With work, kids, hobbies and socializing it can sometimes be a struggle. That's why we created a zero waste shop which you can also access from home.
Shop on our website and we'll pack all of your goodies for you plastic free! You can then collect from our warehouse if you're close by and want to say hi on a day which is best for you. Alternatively, we can deliver straight to your door.
We're Low Waste
We started this business from our passion for reducing waste and the impact we have on the environment. So you can be reassured that we take this very seriously when it comes to our shop, products and practices.
Where products require packaging we always aim for reusables. However, where this is not possible due to factors such as food health and safety, we will ensure it is home compostable or recyclable. Our hope is that we will be able to develop a use - return - reuse system for our customers as we grow overtime.
We are also working with our suppliers to reduce the packaging we are sent.
