Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
We use melamine plates and bowls, fiberglass trays, and metal flatware. Cups are 14oz plastic. In the On The Go locations, carry out plastic silverware and plastic packaging for the carry out sandwiches and hand held food items. Polystyrene dishware is only used when we have problems with the dish machine and need to go to paper plates and Styrofoam cups in emergency situations until the machine can be repaired. Paper plates, bowls and napkins are only used in emergency situations.
