Why we reuse

Denison Hospitality is proud to support and encourage environmentally conscious habits on campus, and reusable Greenies to-go powered by Reuse Pass program is part of our ongoing effort to reduce waste from single-use products. Replacing single-use compostable to-go boxes with Greenies eliminates the resource and energy costs associated with processing tens of thousands of single-use containers annually and avoids the additional concern of improper disposal contributing to landfill waste. 

Who can use the program, and how do I sign up? 

Students, faculty, and staff are welcome to and encouraged to use the program! Signing up is free, all you need is your name, your denison.edu email and password, and your phone number. Use this link to sign up for your ReusePass account to use the green to-go box program! Your ReusePass account will give you a personalized QR code to use when checking out a container, allow you to manage and view the status of containers you have checked out, and track your environmental impact by reusing.  Pro Tip: Save your personalized QR code to your photos, to your Apple wallet, or to your smartwatch for easy access!  

What happens once I’ve checked out my first container?

If you check out your first container via mobile order, you’ll receive an SMS from ReusePass with details on how the program works and a link for how to access your ReusePass account. You can reference your ReusePass account to see a full record of all the containers you’ve checked out, when they are due back, and if you’ve missed any due date

How do I check out a box? 

When you arrive at The Table at Huffman or The Table at Curtis, ask the cashier to check out a Greenies box. Be ready with your personalized QR code from ReusePass and scan it when the cashier is ready. The cashier will scan a box to link it to your account, and you’re all set!  

Where do I return my container? 

When you’re done with your container, please return it to a cashier at The Table at Huffman and The Table at Curtis who will check it back in for you! 

How many containers can I have checked out at once? 

You can have multiple containers checked out at a time if you need to but be sure to return them before ten days have passed. After ten days without returning a container, your account will be marked as having a “late” container.
