refill station

Container reloading spot

A refill station is a place where you can replenish containers you bring from home rather than buying new packaged products.

Most commonly found in environmentally conscious stores, refill stations dispense things like soap, detergent, shampoo, or dry goods into reusable bottles or bags: I filled my jar with oats at the refill station.

The term also applies to water bottle refilling points in airports or gyms.
