SAN DIEGO — A unique grocery store concept opened in San Diego last month, inviting customers to bring their own containers and reduce the amount of waste created by food shopping.

The Mighty Bin, located a couple blocks from the iconic North Park Water Tower on El Cajon Boulevard, is a nod to the “zero-waste” movement doing away with single-use plastics and other environmentally harmful packaging.

The store displays its wares in “gravity dispensers” — those clear tubs with a release handle that you see holding cereal at the hotel buffet line — large jars and glass display cases.
