Dining Drink CClub
Reduce waste by joining the Dining Drink Club. Cavaliers can enjoy a coffee or soda (up to 20 ounces) for only $1.59 in three steps:
- Put Dining Dollars or JCCC Dollars on your JCCC ID
- Bring your own reusable mug to the Food Court or any participating Cav Café and fill it with your favorite brew or fountain drink.
- Pay with your JCCC ID.
Greenies/Plates
If you are dining in the Food Court, make it sustainable and minimize waste from disposable tableware by using:
- Greenie clamshell containers for eating on-the-go
- Trays along with reusable plates and metal utensils for dining in the Food Court
When you’re done with your Greenie or plate, place them in the black bus tubs above the recycling or trash bins to be washed and used again.
Disposable containers are available for to-go meals and should be landfilled after use.
