Lose waste, feel great
we dig it when it’s reused.
Take Out the Trash – Ditch Disposables at Your Next Event
East Bay Natural Grocers offers reusable plates, tableware, glasses, and napkins for your gatherings.
Why Paperless Parties?
You can’t be expected to bring or use all your own dishes and cutlery to gatherings you host. But using disposables creates a lot of waste, and we hate that. Paperless Parties is a FREE* service that eliminates your need to use disposable paper plates, cups, plastic cutlery, and trashy napkins for your parties and events.
How Does it Work?
We have acquired a collection of 200 sets of plates, cups, dining utensils, and napkins through the help of generous grants and our own contributions. We lend out these sets when you need them.
As this is a new initiative, availability is open. Just drop us an email and let us know your needs and we will help you have a more sustainable event. It’s really that easy.
About Booking a Set
We have a few easy requirements to meet in order to get a set.
- We have a minimum order of 20
- We need at least one week’s notice prior to event (email us here)
- You must be able to pick up, and return, at one of our two locations.
- You agree to the terms & instructions
- We also request you display our provided signage to minimize loss, and to help spread the word.
