Yes

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

The SDSU Enviro Business Society and Dining Services began a pilot program at the SDSU Farmer's Market in March 2011 for reusable food containers. Students, faculty, and staff may purchase a reusable food container for $5 to use at food vendors and exchange for a clean container or deposit refund when they return the container. Many vendors are offering s discount for customers with reusable containers of $.10 to $1. The containers are made in America and are recyclable.
