In 2020, our team worked with the City of Ashland and Oregon Department of Agriculture to start the Rogue To Go reusable container program. This project was started by the City of Ashland and funded by a grant from the Department of Environmental Quality. Customers make a one-time purchase of a Rogue To Go container for $10. This reusable to-go container can be used at ten participating restaurants in Southern Oregon.

Two options are offered - a clamshell and soup container. They are manufactured in Bend, Oregon, and upcycled at the end of life. Since starting the program, these reusable containers have been exchanged over 1,500 times by all participating restaurants!
