Does the institution have a trayless dining program in which trays are removed from or not available in dining halls?:
Yes

A brief description of the trayless dining program:

Our dining services have gone tray-less in residential dining halls; this both reduces food waste and conserves water and energy by eliminating the need to wash trays and reducing the volume of heated water required water for washing. Tray-less dining also reduces the use of chemicals that are found in detergents, and rinsing and drying agents needed to wash trays.
