Green2Go

How Green2Go Works

Full-time members of the Dartmouth community can join the program with a $10.00 investment.

When entering '53 Commons, indicate you want to take your meal to-go when swiping in.

  • Join the sustainable to-go program.
  • Exchange an empty used container or a green clip for a clean container.

Take your meal to-go in the sanitized reusable container provided (see guidelines below).

After you have finished your take-out meal:

  • Exchange the empty used container for your next meal to-go.
  • Exchange the empty used container for a green clip at any of the following locations:
    • '53 Commons
    • Novack Café
    • ramekin
    • Collis Café

Repeat! Reduce Waste! Help The Big Green Be Green!

Please return used containers as promptly as possible to keep plenty in circulation.

If you do not provide a green clip or a used to-go container when checking in for your meal, you must join the program again.

Take Out Guidelines

All food must fit inside the container, with the lid closed, following the guidelines and exceptions below:

  • A maximum of two entrees may be taken to go.
  • A maximum of ONE bowl may be taken outside the container for soup, cereal, cut fruit, yogurt, or ice cream.
  • Beverage cups may only be used to take beverages to go. Only one beverage may be taken to go.
  • One piece of hand fruit OR one dessert item may be taken outside of the container.
  • You may refill your beverage upon leaving the dining hall. It must be contained in a travel mug/reusable cup only and must be 32oz or less.

You will have 15 minutes in the servery to collect your meal. The register attendant will hold on to your ID card while you are in the servery collecting your meal. If you have chosen to take your meal to-go, you cannot stay and eat at 53 Commons. Violation of these policies will result in being charged the full retail price for a second meal.

Foods served in the dining hall are available to students on an all-you-care-to-eat basis and may not be taken out without the use of a Green2Go container. Guests are expected to conduct themselves in the dining hall in a manner respectful to other diners. Misuse of food and/or removal of dining hall property is prohibited and is subject to disciplinary action.

Thank you for your cooperation.
