Does campus dining operations provide reusable containers for to-go food that are returned for cleaning and reuse?:
A brief description of the reusable to-go container program:
RETURNABLE CONTAINER PROGRAM
Program Goals
* Reduce or eliminate excessive disposal containers.
* Demonstrate commitment to reduce environmental impact of dining operation.
* Reduce waste removal costs for university partners.
* Engage student leaders and administrators in environmental awareness.
Program Process
The customer purchases the container from the cashier to use on their next visit to purchase food from the dining hall. The customer rinses the container after use and brings it back on their next visit, and receives a clean container. The container is then washed, rinsed and sanitized and is recycled back to the next customer.
