Renter Guidelines for 2023 

Staff will give you directions for pick-up and drop-off closer to the date of your reservation. You will either pick it up from DCGP, or from the last person who rented it if there is someone renting right before you (there are often two renters in a weekend as that is when there is the highest demand, and staff are typically not working, so this makes it logistically easier). You will get the last renter’s contact information in order to make an easy exchange. If there isn't a renter right before you, staff will meet you where the apple press is stored for pick-up/drop-off. Renters will need to sign a liability waiver before picking up the press, either in-person or electronically (staff will contact you to complete the waiver).

• Make sure you have all the parts(shredder, apple press, two buckets, funnel, stave ring and ring bag, wood press plate, aluminum press plate bearing, wood turning bar).

• Have a family member or friend with you to help move the equipment

• Please make sure that the equipment isn’t left unattended for extended periods of time.
