Does campus dining operations provide reusable containers for to-go food that are returned for cleaning and re-use?:
Yes

A brief description of the reusable to-go container program:

Eco-clam shell containers made of environmentally-friendly polypropylene are sold for $5 and used in the largest retail location on Duke University campus, the Great Hall. When an owner drops off the to-go container to be cleaned and sanitized, he or she receives a keychain token that can be turned in for a replacement clamshell. In January 2010, the first 200 containers were given away as an incentive to join the program.
