1	Why should someone join the program?
	By using reusable containers, participants will join others in the effort to reduce waste on our campus. 278,000 to-go containers were used, and therefor thrown away, on campus last year - using reusable containers will make our to-go program more sustainable. [close]

	Participation is FREE to all meal plan and declining balance customers. All other customers are asked to pay a $7.00 registration fee. All participating customers must have a valid Gator 1 ID to check containers in and out. [close]

	For meal plan and declining balance customers, all you have to do is ask your cashier for a reusable to-go container and the computer will recognize you the first time you check a container out.
