Topanga Reuseable Box Program
At the University of New Mexico, we are committed to sustainability and reducing our environmental impact. UNM Food offers a sustainable and customizable way to take your favorite foods to-go from La Posada Dining Hall with the ReusePass Program. ReusePass lets meal plan holders check out and return reusable to-go containers, reducing resource consumption and diverting single-use containers from landfills. Meal plan holders are immediately eligible to participate at no extra cost. Non-meal plan holders may opt into the ReusePass program by making a one-time purchase of a
Topanga reusable container for $7.00.
