BYO Long Beach
Algalita’s Plastic-Smart Community Center in Long Beach, CA was created to be a space for SoCal locals to adopt habits around using fewer plastics. We’ve partnered with BYO Long Beach, a small business run by Julie Darrell who supplies a wide range of alternatives to single-use plastics and a refill station to purchase cleaners & cosmetics. Together our mission is to inspire locals to reduce their waste and focus on reusable alternatives.
Location: 148 N. Marina Dr., Long Beach, CA 90803
Hours: M-F 11-4

“Perfection is not the goal, but progress. We can’t all do everything, but everyone can do something.”
