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:
Reusable to-go containers were available at McEwen Dining Hall as part of a pilot program during the 2010-2011 academic year. This program has expanded starting with the 2011-2012 academic year to include all residential dining locations. Elon Dining Services utilizes NSF certified eco-friendly containers, which save waste from landfills with every meal on the run. Students were given a token or reusable container at the start of the year. A token can be turned in for a reusable container. Used/dirty containers are exchanged for a clean container or a token to pick up a clean container later. Information about the process was distributed with the welcome back kit along with a new stainless steel water bottle.
