Description of other reusable food- or beverage-related programs (e.g. incentives for use of reusable bags, dishware, to-go containers):
There is a reusable food to-go container program that gives the customer a $.25 discount as well. Using this reusable container helps to reduce landfill waste and saves resources. The customer first pays $5.00 for the container, and once finished the container is returned to a machine called OZZI that rinses and wipes the container, and the customer is given a token to use so they can receive a clean container the next time they want to use one.
