Yes

A brief description of the reusable mug program:

We have a robust reusable mug program at DU. We have sold approximately 1300 recycle mugs in initiation of the program a few years ago. We sell mugs at cost (with initial free drink) and then offer discounted refills, which promotes the reuse of the mug. Savings is $.30 off a $1.89 beverage or 26.5%.


Amount of the discount offered for using reusable mugs:
0.30
