Reuse

NAU students, faculty and staff can participate.

Go to one of the participating Campus Dining locations to purchase a reusable container with your meal for an extra $5.00 (Dining Dollars and JDE accepted).

There are 14 Campus Dining locations within the University Union participating in the Campus Dining O2GO reusable container program. Those locations are:

• Denny’s Fresh Expres
• Star Ginger
• Cobrizo Mexican Grill
• Turnip the Greens
• G’s New York-Style Deli
• Bean and Beaker
• Scholar’s Corner
• Einstein’s
• Starbucks (both at Union and South)
• Coffee and Bagels
• Jazzman’s
• Green Scene
• The Coupe

When placing your order at any of the participating locations, you may purchase a reusable container for $5 or if you are already participating in the Campus Dining O2GO program, you can redeem your token for a new container.

Reusable containers are made to-go. Therefore, you can take the Campus Dining O2GO container with you wherever you go and then return it to the machine in Union Point.

Containers need to be returned to an OZZI machine, either in Union Point next to the infused water station or inside The Coupe on south campus.

When you are finished with you container, rinse out any remaining food particles then go to the OZZI machine in Union Point.  Insert the container into the opening, wait for the machine to scan the container, and then push the container completely into the machine.  You will then receive a token to redeem for another container next time you get food at a participating location.

The token you receive after returning your used container to the OZZI machine is used to redeem a new container at any of the participating Campus Dining locations.  When placing your food order, tell the location representative that you are partaking in the Campus Dining O2GO program and need a new container.

The OZZI machine has a barcode scanner that scans the container when it is placed in the opening of the machine.  Once the machine accepts the container it goes into the machine’s cart and NAU Campus Dining employees with collect the returned containers and take them to the dish room to be cleaned.

You can use the program as many times as you would like.  As long as you return the container and receive a token you can continue to use the program.

If you lose your token you will have to purchase another container at a participating location.

Campus Dining O2GOcontainers that are broken will be recycled.

You will not get fined for breaking a container, but in order to re-enter the program you will have to purchase another container at a participating location.

The Green Fund is funding the program through the $5.00 Green Fee.

Single use disposables are currently a large part of the NAU community waste system; this program will reduce landfill waste on campus significantly.  This is in line with the carbon neutrality goals and climate action plan for NAU.  In addition, by supporting this program you will also be supporting future reusable container programs on campus in order to more closer to a zero-waste campus.

The NAU administration in working closely with OZZI and Blackboard to allow for a card swiping system to replace the tokens as soon as Fall 2018.  Until this time the machine will use tokens.

As of Fall 2018, there is an OZZI machine in The Coupe!
