A guest drops an orange reusable container into a Dispatch Goods “Reusables” collection bin

How it works

Reuse, without the operational headache.

It works like the disposables you buy today. The only new thing is an orange bin beside your black, gray, green, or blue ones.

  1. Your team

    1. A case of reusable containers

      Step 1: You order.

      By the case, just like disposables.

    2. A person dropping a used container into an orange collection bin

      Step 2: Your people drop it in a bin.

      Diners and employees put used pieces in the orange bin, like any other bin.

  2. Dispatch Goods handles this

    1. A Dispatch Goods collection truck

      Step 3: We haul.

      We pick up the full bins on a set schedule.

    2. A commercial wash line cleaning reusable containers

      Step 4: We wash.

      Commercially washed, sanitized, and inspected, then delivered back clean.

Regulatory pressure

The cost of single-use is about to change

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)

New state-level laws mandate that businesses funding packaging must pay for its post-use recovery. Single-use packaging, from plastics and mixed materials to compostables, faces escalating taxes that will tilt the economics in favor of closed-loop reuse systems.

  • Taxes on non-reusable packaging set to triple by 2026.
  • Compliance reporting automated natively through Dispatch ledger.

Regulatory compliance timeline

  1. 2024

    EPR Fee Structuring

    States enact baseline taxation rates.

  2. 2025

    Mandatory Audit Readiness

    Enterprise reporting and logistics audit standard.

  3. 2026

    Penalty Implementation

    Financial charges applied to unrecovered single-use packaging.

70%

Assumes each converted meal uses a container, a bowl and a cup, a share of them returned for reuse, and a phased rollout at 45%, 65%, 90%, then 100% of the selected conversion target. Customers with Dispatch Goods for six months or more average an 88% return rate. Actual results will vary.

Hauling savings

What does reuse do to your hauling bill?

Less single-use packaging means less in the compost and trash bins, so you can book fewer pickups. Set your bins and hauler rate to see what changes.

At a Bay Area corporate campus, cutting one compost bin from two pickups a week to one saved about $7,300 a year in hauling: 1.6× the cost of the Dispatch Goods service.
