Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Due to the distributed dining model at Carnegie Mellon and the lack of centralized dish areas, the University Dining Program does not provide reusable to-go containers, however some customers choose to use, clean, and reuse their own containers when visiting dining locations throughout campus. CulinArt Inc., the contract dining company on campus, offers compostable dishware at some of the locations they manage on campus.
