Borrow Greenware

Whether you’re hosting a small picnic or catering a large gathering, you can reduce the impact of your event by using reusable foodware. Create a special ambiance for your event by renting Keep Truckee Green’s free reusable “greenware,” which can provide up to 150 plates, cups, bowls, and utensils.

Greenware is available by reservation only in sets of 25 plates, cups, bowls, and utensils. Borrowers will also receive at least one collection bin for dirty dishes and signage to help guests understand where to return the used dishes. All items including the collection bin must be washed and dried before returning to Town Hall (10183 Truckee Airport Road).

Reservation requests must be submitted at least two business days in advance of your pickup date to allow for Town staff to process your reservation and prepare your greenware. While we can accommodate pick-up and drop-off on weekends and holidays (the pickup location is open 24 hours), reservations requests can only be processed Monday through Thursday during regular business hours.

Requests for pickup on weekends or Mondays must be submitted no later than the previous Thursday (during business hours), or we cannot guarantee the reservation can be processed. We encourage you to submit your reservation request as far in advance as possible, since our greenware sets are often fully reserved during busy times of the year such as the winter holiday season.
