Does campus dining operations offer discounts to customers who use reusable mugs instead of disposable cups in to-go food service operations?:
Yes

A brief description of the reusable mug program:

Cornell Dining has two reusable mug discount programs. Cornell Dining sells a reusable mug for $4.99 at fourteen retail locations. The $4.99 price includes the first beverage. After the first purchase, when a customer brings back their Cornell Sustainable mug they can purchase a large beverage for the price of a small. Since 2007, Cornell Dining has sold nearly 1,600 of the reusable mugs.

The second sustainable mug program is our discount refill program. A customer can bring in any type of sustainable mug and get a 16 oz. refill for $1.50. This is a 40¢ savings off of the regular price.


Amount of the discount offered for using reusable mugs:
0.40
