A brief description of the reusable mug program:

The ODU reusable mug program reduces waste while customers save money. The tag line is “Make Earth day, Everyday.” Hot and cold mugs can be purchased at campus locations including P.O.D. Markets, C3, Grille Works, Pizza Hut, Burrito Theory, The BBQ Pit, BAL-EXPRESS, and Blue’s Xpress. ODU Flex Points, the Monarch Plus card, cash, and credit are accepted forms of payment.

For Cold Mugs, customers purchase a 32 ounce mug for $3.49. Fountain drink refills are $1.49 (compared to the $1.69 regular price) or no additional charge with the purchase of a combination meal.

For Hot Mugs, customers purchase a 20 ounce mug for $2.99. Any size Starbucks coffee or espresso drink fill-ups get a $0.10 discount. Fill-ups at Blue’s Xpress and BAL-EXPRESS receive $0.10 off a large coffee.
