Florence Master Recyclers have put together 150 place settings that include: plates, bowls, glasses, cutlery and even cloth napkins. Platters and serving spoons are also available, and rental is free! We can accommodate groups as small as a dozen or as large as150 To learn more about the Durable Dishware Program and to reserve dishes for your event call (541) 590-0506 or email Florence.Master.Recycler@gmail.com Florence Master Recyclers are a volunteer organization supported by the Lane County Waste Management Division.
