Yes

A brief description of the trayless dining program:
A survey conducted in 2009 by students in a Seminar in Environmental Issues (ENVS-102) showed that removing cafeteria trays reduced food waste per person by 32%.
As a result of these findings, trays were eliminated in the fall of 2009 in the Terrace Dining Room. In 2011 our Tenley Campus dining room also removed all trays. No trays are used in other food venues or events on campus.
