Does campus dining operations provide reusable containers for to-go food that are returned for cleaning and re-use?:
Yes

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

The ‘Eco2Go’ program began in February 2010 as a way to decrease waste from our retail dining locations. Customers pay a one-time membership fee of $5 to join the program and are able to have their meals served into a reusable container. As well as reducing waste, customers also receive a 5% discount on their meal.
