Tired of fiddling with packaging? Want to help the environment? Shopping the package-free aisles can also save you time and money, but only if you know where to find them! Our app, BULK, helps you eliminate packaging from your life by pointing to bulk food bins and liquid refills near you - and it lets you share the locations that you find with others.

UPDATE 2/29/16 The Android version unfortunately stopped working -we had to be removed from the Android market. The Apple version is still functional at this time. We launched a crowdfunding campaign to #savetheapp (to help fund the app's costly OS updates) in February 2016, but we did not reach our goal. We are looking at different solutions to keep the app alive. We will make the best of the funds received during our campaign. This page will be updated with developments.
UPDATE 3/16/16 we've spoken to various developers and weighed the pros and cons of the different options, and decided that a web app was best to sustain BULK. And today, the work began! Tentative launch date scheduled to coincide with Earth Day (4/22) and the launch of our new, updated website!
