Does campus dining operations provide reusable containers for to-go food that are returned for cleaning and reuse?:
Yes
A brief description of the reusable to-go container program:
Eco-clam shell containers made of environmentally-friendly polypropylene are sold for $5. 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.
Currently clam shells can be used at 3 large food vendors on campus, the Loop, Grace's, and Quenchers. The clam shell program used to be active at the Great Hall, Duke's largest food vendor and dining hall. This year, however, the Great Hall is undergoing renovation. Duke intends to continue the clam shell program in the Great Hall once it reopens.
