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:
NYU does not offer discounts, but every time a student brings a reusable drink container to either the Kimmel or Weinstein food court, NYU Dining Services donates 5 cents to an environmental nonprofit of his or her choosing, or to the NYU Sustainability Fund to help support future student-led green projects on campus.
Amount of the discount offered for using reusable mugs:
