Reuse Products and Services

The City of Seattle (City) is seeking qualified vendors to provide comprehensive services to support the use of reusable food services ware at designated events. The Reusable Food Service Ware at Seattle Events (Reuse Seattle @ Events Program) is a program managed by Seattle Public Utilities (SPU), intended to reduce single-use food service ware at public events and to model sustainable alternatives for event production. Event locations vary. The Reuse Seattle @ Events Program provides alternatives to single-use items at special events by supporting the delivery, pick up, and sanitation of reusable dishware and associated service logistics for various types of events across Seattle. The intention of the Reuse Seattle @ Events Program is to demonstrate the feasibility of implementing reuse at public events, gather best practices, and evaluate implementation costs and other considerations to inform development of a sustainable approach and funding model for providing reusable dishware at all events citywide.
