Community Reusables

Plates for the People

Community Reusables

Flexible. Affordable.

We offer flexible options for renting reusables, 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. 

 

Perfect for casual gatherings.

 

​Our stainless steel reusables may not be fancy but they get the job done. Lightweight and durable, they make it easy to ditch single-use plastics and other disposables.
