GREEN CONVENE
Ditch the disposables, borrow our reusable dishware! Social gatherings are a central part of a healthy community, but collectively these events create tons of waste daily. Waste created at these events often cannot be recycled because it is too dirty or made of non-recyclable material. We are innovating for the future with affordable, zero waste, rentable serviceware. Our program offers San Diego locals affordable access to a nice set of serviceware perfect for casual gatherings or formal parties. Get Started with Green Convene Today!

“Green Convene was perfect for our function. The ease of pick up/ drop off, availability of dishes and price point made it an easy choice.”
— Wehtahnah T., Green Convene user for a baby shower at Coastal Roots Farm
“Thank you for making it easy to borrow dishes, silverware, and glasses for my event! I am so happy that you helped me host a green event by loaning all of the items I needed at such an affordable price. Cheers to that!”
— Marcy B., Green Convene user for 50+ guests at a networking event for women business owners in San Diego
“We were able to encourage children and adults to sort their trash between recycling, landfill, and compost, and our group learned about green convene. Guests also noted how nice it was to have a real plate! The best part was having barely a 1/4 full trash bag to dispose of at the end of the party.”
— Daniel C., who used Green Convene for his son's 4th birthday party
