OZZI Reusable Container Program
HFS and the UW are leaders in sustainability, including recycling and composting. UW Dining offers compostable take-out containers, cups and flatware designed to bypass the garbage stream. Unfortunately, too many compostable materials end up in the garbage.
That’s why UW Dining is partnering with OZZI, a company specializing in reusable container systems.
OZZI containers are now available in Local Point and Center Table. All residents will receive a free OZZI token at the beginning of the academic year. OZZI containers can also be purchased for your own use at Center Table or Local Point.
How It Works
Using Your Token
Present your token* to the cashier when you place your food order.
Your take-out meal is served in a purple 6 x 9” reusable container.**
Enjoy your food, then rinse out the container.
Return your container to one of the OZZI Drop N’ Go collection machines located in Local Point or Center Table at your next meal.
Receive a new token to use for your next take-out meal from the collection machine.
*If your token is lost, you will need to pay an addition $5 to start the program again.
**Containers are microwave safe, dishwasher safe, NSF certified, BPA free and FDA approved.
Anyone taking food in compostable packaging will have to pay an additional $0.50—excluding certain items unable to be transported in an OZZI container (i.e., beverages and soups).
OZZI tokens are going digital in 2027. Stay tuned!
