Does campus dining operations provide reusable containers for to-go food that are returned for cleaning and reuse?:
Yes

A brief description of the reusable to-go container program:

Currently FIU has a mandatory reusable to-go container program for students in the residence halls dining program at the Fresh Food Company, plus an optional program at Grilleworks and Pollo Tropical. Any customer can receive a reusable to-go container with a $4 refundable deposit. Once used the container can be returned at Fresh Food Company, Pollo Tropical or GrilleWorks, without having to be clean. Dining services will do the sanitizing. Upon returning, customers can then choose between a container card that can be redeemed for a container in the future or they can get a clean reusable container. The refundable deposit is returned when the container in brought to the Fresh Food Company in usable condition at the end of the year.
