GENERAL REUSABLE DISHWARE PROGRAM Save Money & Help Th e Planet With Durable Dishware Program According to the Clean Air council, “Every year Americans throw away enough paper products, plastic cups, forks and spoons to circle the equator 300 times.” In 2008, Paper products, (cardboard, newsprint and offi ce paper) made up 31% of municipal waste in our landfi ll. Why not save money and the environment by using durables this spring with reusable dishware and place settings from Florence Master Recycler’s Durable Dishware Rental Program. Th e Florence Master Recyclers have put together kits of 150 place settings of plates, bowls, glasses, cutlery and even cloth napkins for free rental to the general public. If your event is outdoors, there’s even a mobile washing station for your needs. We can accommodate a group as small as a dozen and up to 150, with some holiday themed settings complete with platters and serving spoons. So, why not do the right thing by going green this spring and save a ton of money in the process. To learn more about the Durable Dishware Program and to reserve a free rental call 541-590- 0506.
