Description of other reusable food- or beverage-related programs (e.g. incentives for use of reusable bags, dishware, to-go containers):
Muhlenberg College’s campus dining operations do not provide reusable containers for to-go food; these containers are returned to dining operations for cleaning and re-use. Currently, Wood Dining Commons has compostable to-go boxes and silverware. We are looking into a pilot program. This program would include students putting down a deposit for the semester, and Wood Dining Commons would clean the boxes after they were returned.
