Why should I reuse? Compostable containers need heat and moisture to break down efficiently, so containers that end up in landfills take significantly longer to break down. Chews to Reuse containers cut landfills out of the picture. It is also a one-time payment of 3 points for semester-long use of the containers compared to spending 25.5 points on single-use containers. (assuming to-go meals 2 times a week)
Where can I use my reusable to-go container? The pilot program is currently only running in Foothill Dining Commons. You will not be able to check-out reusable to-go containers from other Cal Dining facilities. Please bring back all containers to Foothill.
Are the containers MICROWAVE safe? Yes.
What happens if I lose/break my container?
If you lose your container, you will need to purchase a new one to continue participating in the reusable to-go container program.Please see a manager if your container breaks.
