Terms of agreement:

Please examine items before use – some items may need to be washed. We do our best to make sure you get a clean event kit. However, we cannot guarantee that all items will be properly washed by previous users.
All items must be washed and sanitized after use, either in a sanitizing dishwasher or using our three-bin wash and sanitizing station. Borrowers must provide their own dish soap and cleaning implements; a sanitizing tab is included with the three-bin system.
The borrowed dishware, utensils, cups, mugs, and linens will be returned clean, dry, intact, in good condition, and in their original containers within three business days of the end of the event as scheduled with ACSWMD staff.
For each reservation, a $20 deposit is required upon picking up the kit. The deposit will be returned when items are returned on time and in good condition. If items are dirty, damaged, missing, or late, your deposit will not be returned.
ACSWMD may charge the borrower to replace damaged or lost dishware, silverware, cups, mugs, linens, containers, or bus bins.
