IU Dining cares about students and the planet. Here’s how we’re making a difference:
Social responsibility
Eco-friendly practices
- Compostable carryout containers cut down on waste.
- Use of real plates and silverware at all You Care to Eat locations keeps excess trash out of the landfill.
- The Reuse Pass program at Collins offers green containers that can be sterilized and used up to 40 times!
Take Less, Waste Less
At All You Care to Eat dining halls, we encourage you to start with a small portion and go back for more if you're still hungry. This simple idea dramatically helps reduce food waste—and you can always get seconds.
