On Saturday, thousands of residents in the Dupont and Logan Circle neighborhoods opened their doors to find an odd gift waiting on their doorstep: a single roll of toilet paper.
Raising awareness in a creative way, local delivery service, The Rounds, dropped off thousands of rolls on their fleet of e-bikes across The District.
The Rounds is a zero waste delivery service of household essential items working to create a convenient, affordable and more sustainable way to shop. In addition to offering the basics like toilet paper, soap and cleaning items, they also work with local partners to offer door to door delivery of their goods.
The Rounds’ members can get weekly refills of freshly baked bread from Seylou Bakery, locally roasted coffee from Compass Coffee and their morning bagels from Bethesda Bagels. Unlike your typical delivery service, The Rounds sources products in bulk and delivers items in reusable packaging. Plus, they pick up your empty containers to be cleaned and reused, like a modern day milkman.
This fast growing startup has been on the move both in the District and across the East Coast. After launching in D.C. in August, they just expanded into their third market, Miami, this month.
