General Guidelines for Eating To-Go
- When you arrive at the dining hall, inform your cashier that you will be taking your meal "to-go" and have your ID card swiped.
- Each to-go meal comes with three containers, found at the to-go station adjacent to the cashier area:
- 1 large container (Eco To-Go participants should use their Eco To-Go containers. Learn more about the program below.)
- 1 cold drink cup
- 1 hot drink cup
- Disposable utensils and napkins are available.
- You may also take one piece of fruit.
- Bottles, jars and bulk containers, such as those containing spices, oils, vinegars, soy milk and honey, should not be removed from the dining hall.
- Please exit the dining hall via the same door as you entered.
- You may not dine in and take out at the same meal period. Misuse of the program may result in loss of privileges.

- Mission
- By providing Brown Students who are currently on meal plan reusable, environmentally-safe, sustainable to-go containers, Brown Dining Services is hoping to decrease the volume of waste that currently fills our landfills. The switch to reusable To-Go containers takes us one step closer to going green!
- Why Eco To-Go
- Why switch to reusable to-go containers, you wonder?
- Eco To-Go makes Brown Dining Services that much greener by helping decrease the volume of waste that currently fills our landfills through reducing the usage of disposable containers.
- In addition, the Eco To-Go program continues to provide you the convenience of carrying out your food when you are on the run. Whether you're late for class or grabbing a bite between meetings, Eco To-Go lets you get food when you need it.
- General Guidelines
- Eco To-Go makes going green easy. All you need to know are these simple guidelines:
- ecoContainers may be used at both the Sharpe Refectory and the Verney-Woolley Dining Halls whenever you are eating to-go
- Note: ecoContainers are currently not yet available for use at any of the retail eateries
- Students are allowed one container per meal
- Note: ecoContainers are designed for take-out meals only. If you're not eating on the run, don't worry - you can swap a dirty ecoContainer for a keytag for the next time you eat to-go.
- We will wash and sanitize the container after each use
- ecoContainers are both microwave and dishwasher-safe
- And don't forget to return your ecoContainer at the end of the school year!
