Starting in the Fall of 2022, 英雄联盟竞猜线上入口靠谱 College is making the transformation from disposable containers to reusable ones at a number of our cafeterias and dining locations at our North and Lakeshore Campuses. In the effort to reduce single-use packaging waste that ends up in landfills and be more sustainable, we are introducing two programs depending on where you're located: O2GO at North Campus and Friendlier at Lakeshore.
By joining, users avoid single-use items and help 英雄联盟竞猜线上入口靠谱 improve its environmental impact. In the program’s first year, 100,000 disposable containers avoided landfills thanks to students, staff, and faculty who joined the reusable container program.
O2GO
Developed by OZZI , the O2GO® Reusable Food Container program is a sustainable alternative to single-use packaging. 英雄联盟竞猜线上入口靠谱 is expanding the program to more food service locations at the North campus. Users can opt to have their meals served in O2GO containers at the Street Café and Staff Lounge, while meals at the Residence Café will be exclusively served on O2GO.
Join the Program
In Fall 2022, O2GO containers are available at 英雄联盟竞猜线上入口靠谱’s North Campus in the following locations:
- Street Café
- Staff Lounge
- North Residence Café
To enter the program, users must request their meal to be served in an O2GO container and pay a one-time fee of $10 at check-out per container using debit, credit or cash, or the ONECard app for those wishing to redeem the cost of their container for ONECard credit upon exiting the program. Users will receive a token when they return their container to an O2GO machine and will use that token at their next meal to receive a clean O2GO container. Should users lose or misplace containers or token, they will need to buy back into the program.
In North Residence, meals will be served exclusively in O2GO containers. Credit from Flex Dollar balance will be used towards the $10 O2GO container.
Return the container
After eating, users return emptied containers to the O2GO machines at Street Café or North Residence Café and collect a token in return. Tokens are kept for the next O2GO meal.
Repeat
When ordering from a participating food location, users request an O2GO container when ordering and hand token to cashier upon checkout.
Exit the program
The O2GO program is designed to help 英雄联盟竞猜线上入口靠谱’s community reduce the single-use packaging typically produced during dining activities. Users are therefore encouraged to join the program and exit only when their time on campus draws to a close.
Two options for exiting the O2GO program:
Users having paid for their container using ONECard are invited to visit the Dining Plan Office at North Campus LX104 (open Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.) with a token in hand. Staff will collect the token, verify the original ONECard purchase, and provide a $10 credit on ONECard. This credit can be used anywhere on campus where ONECard is accepted (find more information at https://humber.ca/onecard/manage.html ).
Users having paid credit, debit, or cash must return the container to an O2GO machine, obtain a token, and present it to the cashier at the original point of transaction on the same day of purchase in order to receive a refund. Note that no refunds or deposits will be available for those using these payment methods after the original purchase date.
Where is O2GO offered?
The O2GO program is currently offered in the Staff Lounge, at Street Café and at North Residence dining hall, with plans to expand to other food locations across campus as they re-open. O2GO containers are available for non-branded food items, which include meals from the Culinary Table, Create Station, Grill & Co, Baja Flat Station, Salad Bar, and soups.
Where do I return my O2GO container?
Containers are to be scraped of food and returned to O2GO machines located in the following three locations: by Street Café, by North Residence elevators (T building), and at the entrance of North Residence cafeteria.
Can I keep the container?
Containers are meant to be returned after meals are consumed. In order to keep the program running, we rely on users returning the containers when they are done using them, so those containers can be cleaned and sanitized for future use.
What happens if I lose/forget my O2GO Container or Token?
If you lose your container or token, you will have to buy back into the program. Exceptions cannot be made.
What happens if I break my container?
Please return broken containers to O2GO machines (you will still receive a token for them). All containers are inspected for damage and broken ones are discarded.
