Sustainable Dining

OZZI Reusable Program

This fall, UM Dining is bringing reusable OZZI take-out containers to the dining halls! Purchase your $6 OZZI container from the cashier in either dining hall, fill it with your favorite foods, and take your meal to-go. On your next return to the dining hall, return your used container to the OZZI machine and receive a token for your next use. It's as simple as that! Visit UM Dining to learn more.
