In the heart of Atascadero, California, Central Coast Refillery is more than just a place to shop — it’s a space rooted in community, curiosity, and the belief that small, intentional choices can create meaningful change.


Central Coast Refillery is a locally woman-owned small business founded by Tracy Anders Young. What began just two years ago as a simple curiosity — How can we do better? — evolved into a fully realized refill shop that proudly opened its doors on August 15th. Today, we’re grateful to serve our community six days a week, making sustainable living accessible and convenient.

What We Believe Here At The Central Coast Refillery

At Central Coast Refillery, sustainability isn’t a trend — it’s a commitment. We believe reducing single-use packaging, choosing reusable solutions, and supporting thoughtful alternatives can create real impact. Every refill, every reused container, and every conscious purchase helps keep waste out of landfills and supports a more circular way of living.


We also believe sustainability should feel welcoming, approachable, and rooted in community.


Small Changes For A Big Impact - What We Do At the Refillery


Instead of purchasing new plastic bottles every time you run out of everyday essentials, we invite you to bring your own containers (or choose one in-store) and refill them with high-quality, thoughtfully sourced products.


Our refill offerings include:

  • Laundry detergent & fabric softeners

  • Dish soap & household cleaners

  • Hand soap, body wash & lotions

  • Shampoo & conditioner

  • Bubble bath and more

Refilling helps reduce waste, save money, and allows you to purchase exactly what you need — no excess, no single-use packaging.

Community is at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we proudly partner with local pottery, soap, and jewelry makers from the Central Coast. From handcrafted refill vessels to small-batch soaps and artisan jewelry, each item reflects the creativity, care, and craftsmanship of our local community.

When you shop at Central Coast Refillery, you’re supporting local women, artists, and small businesses who share a commitment to thoughtful, responsible production.


Why Refillable Products Matter

Choosing refillable products is one of the easiest ways to reduce your environmental footprint. By reusing containers and embracing refill systems, you help minimize plastic pollution, conserve resources, and move away from a disposable culture.


It’s not about perfection — it’s about progress, one refill at a time.

A Warm, Local Experience In Downtown

Located in downtown Atascadero on the corner of Traffic Way and Palma, Central Coast Refillery is a welcoming space for both longtime refill lovers and those just beginning their sustainability journey. Whether you’re refilling a favorite bottle, discovering a new local maker, or simply stopping by to learn more, you’re always welcome here.


As our saying goes: "Judging your vibe, not your container."
