Does campus dining operations offer discounts to customers who use reusable mugs instead of disposable cups in to-go food service operations?:
A brief description of the reusable mug program:
HSU Dining Services offers a discount to all customers who bring in a reusable mug. To offer extra incentive to use reusable containers, HSU Dining Services offers a choice of a free mug or stainless steel water bottle to all customers living in the residence halls.

Description of other reusable food- or beverage-related programs (e.g. incentives for use of reusable bags, dishware, to-go containers):
HSU Dining Services works with Housing’s residential life programs to provide food for various programs in residence halls. Students placing food orders have the option of selecting reusable dishes, cups, and cutlery. HSU Dining Services offers a discount to students who wish to rent reusables and make their event zero waste. In doing so, Dining Services enables students to host zero waste events at a price comparable to using disposable items, which encourages more students to consider the environmental impacts of their events.
