Community Reusables

Planning an event? Be good stewards of the planet with our community reusables service.

Flexible. Affordable.

​

We offer flexible options for renting reusables (dinner plates, dessert bowls, dinner forks, dessert spoons, beverage cups/glasses/jars) from full-service support with setup and dishwashing services to budget no-frills (you wash the reusables and return them clean). Or you can make an arrangement somewhere in between. We'll work with you to find the best option for your budget and needs.

Durable. Elegant. Sustainable.
