New Zero-Waste Refill and Delivery Service in D.C. Takes on Amazon

The Rounds, a zero-waste refill and delivery service for the stuff you use every day, just launched in D.C.

Designed as a local, sustainable alternative to Amazon, The Rounds is a new take on the traditional “milkman” model. They partner with local favorites like Compass Coffee and Seylou Bakery to keep your home stocked with everyday staples and local favorites — on autopilot.

Since launching just this month, The Rounds has already seen explosive growth from neighbors across the District.

“We’re super excited by the initial response we’re seeing in D.C.,” CEO Alex Torrey said. “Sustainable convenience really matters for people here. Our mission is to make everyday sustainable choices effortless, and at this rate things are looking really good.”

PoPville readers who sign up by Aug. 31 get a free year of refills and deliveries with code POPVILLE at therounds.co/popville.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
