Does campus dining operations offer discounts to customers who use reusable mugs instead of disposable cups in to-go food service operations?:
Yes
None
A brief description of the reusable mug program:
University Dining Services has sponsored the "Lug-A-Mug” program for many years. Mugs are distributed to each student who has a meal plan at the beginning of the academic year. These mugs serve as an incentive to students to include sustainable practices into their campus life by avoiding the purchase of containers that use virgin materials every time they buy a beverage. Lug-A-Mugs also provide the students the benefit of taking a beverage from the dining room and offer the benefit of receiving a discount in our retail operations. Consumers using their “Lug-A-Mug” can purchase a large beverage for the price of a small beverage.
