We do offer reusable to-go containers in the dining hall for those taking their meals to go ONLY.

If you plan on eating your meal inside the dining hall, we request that you use the plates, glasses, and silverware in the dining hall facility and only utilize to-go containers if you are grabbing your meal and immediately leaving.

To help better facilitate composting and sustainability initiatives moving forward, reusable containers will be available for students to purchase for $10 at the register. These containers will be replaced free of charge only if a student returns their previous container rinsed of all food residue to the dining hall and placed in the dish bins of the dish room.

Students who do not return containers, return them unrinsed, or with old food in the containers will not be allowed to purchase a new container and can result in the program being discontinued.
