It's a project I started around COVID. I have several hosts mostly in Toronto. Lots of my neighbours had put out plastic plates and I collected them for a "birthday party" set that I lend out. Now we just formalized it.

I have two sets of plates in desperate need of hosts before they get tossed. If you are willing/able to be a host, please DM me.

If you aren't in Toronto and have a set of plates to lend, we can add you to our system too.

We can totally expand this system.

Edit to add: You don't have to do much. Put the plates out on the porch (or anywhere really), they go out, they come back clean. Put it back where it likes to live.
