We want YOU to reuse!

Dining Services partnered with the Undergraduate Student Senate, Housing, and the Office of Sustainability to offer an innovative Reusable To-Go (R2G) program that makes Virginia Tech a more sustainable place to live and work. 

Reusable To-Go Containers

 All students, faculty and staff have free access to this program regardless of meal plan status. Using Virginia Tech’s free Reusable To-Go program is a great way to reduce waste. Reusable containers are an alternative to compostable clamshells that cost 25 cents each. Though compostable, the clamshells often end up in the landfill. Join us in doing the "green" thing and get your food in a free R2G container!

The Reusable To-Go containers for Fall 2024 will be available from West End only.

The program utilizes GrubHub to track and return containers. 

How does the program work? 

  • Step 1: Sign up for Reusepass with this link.
  • Step 2: Select your container in the GrubHub app. 
  • Step 3: Take your food to go and enjoy!
  • Step 4: Return the container to West End. Return the containers to the dish conveyor belts or a designated drop-off area (for after hours).
