A brief description of the trayless dining program:
After an internal waste audit conducted by USU Dining Services in the summer of 2008, USU implemented trayless dining. Food costs and food wasted decreased dramatically. Reduction of food waste is an essential part of USU Dining Services‘ sustainable efforts. Trayless dining reduces food waste, conserves energy, reduces water waste, reduces chemical waste, and encourages healthier eating habits.
