Our Commitment to Being Your Most Sustainable Grocer

At Spud we work hard to make local food more accessible and sustainable. Our sustainability commitment includes reducing waste and operating efficiently so our customers, local producers and the planet can benefit. By ordering groceries through Spud, you’re helping us maintain a closed loop delivery system that reuses packing materials and sources and delivers locally and efficiently. This is what we pride ourselves on and what sets us apart from other grocers.



1. How to Request a Bin Pick-Up:

We aren’t just carpooling your groceries, we will also carpool your bins for you. We pick up bins on route with other shoppers’ groceries. Let us do the heavy lifting while you just click the button below to request a pickup for your reusable bin. Then, you simply place your bin back where it was dropped off and let the sustainability magic happen.

For cardboard boxes, we kindly ask that they please be recycled as we are unable to take these back.


2. Reusables:

Place any reusable items back into the bin for your scheduled pickup. These items include:

  • Freezer packs

  • Freezer sleeves (silver bubble packs)

  • Reusable glass jars from Avalon, and Earnest Ice Cream

  • Pink plastic single use pouches from BeFresh products (we are turning these into outdoor furniture with Terracycle!)



If you still need help or have any questions, please contact us.
