Complete the Sustainable Event Certification: Your Dish Project rental is FREE when you complete the certification requirements.

Making the Dish Project Accessible

The Dish Project uses a flexible cost-recovery model to keep reusable dishware accessible while supporting the service. We have aligned our pricing as closely to the cost of a disposable compostable dishware item, grouping items to keep the prices affordable

Are you hosting an event associated with FASA, ASFA or the GSA? Make sure to note it in your booking and your rental fees may be covered.

Off-campus events are also available at applicable rates a deposit may apply. Every rental helps keep the service running—covering washing, maintenance, replacement of lost or damaged items, and the continued expansion of reuse initiatives at Concordia.

Need help with the cost? We want the Dish Project to be accessible to everyone. If your event cannot afford the applicable rental fee, email [email protected]. We’re happy to work with individual events on a case-by-case basis to find an arrangement that works.
