Does campus dining operations offer discounts to customers who use reusable mugs instead of disposable cups in to-go food service operations?:
A brief description of the reusable mug program:
Muhlenberg College’s campus dining operations offer discounts to customers who use reusable mugs instead of disposable cups in to-go food service operations.
. Discounts are offered as an incentive to use reusable bottles. At the General Quarters, all refills are only $0.99. At Java Joe’s the coffee shop on campus mug refills are $0.899, any size reusable container is accepted.
Amount of the discount offered for using reusable mugs:
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.
