What is Dispatch Goods?

Dispatch Goods is a reusable food container program that helps reduce single-use packaging waste. Instead of receiving your food in a disposable container, you can use a reusable container that is collected, cleaned, and used again.

Where Can I Find It?

Available at UTK (University Towers Kitchen) on campus.


How It Works

  1. Get Your Food
    Choose a Dispatch Goods reusable container when getting a to-go meal at UTK.

  2. Enjoy Your Meal
    Take your food with you and enjoy it anywhere on campus or wherever you’re headed.

  3. Return Your Container
    When you’re finished, return the container to the designated Dispatch Goods collection location on campus.

  4. We Clean & Reuse It
    The container is collected, professionally cleaned and sanitized, and returned to campus to be used again.

Why Use Reusables?

Every time a reusable container replaces a single-use container, it helps reduce the amount of packaging waste generated on campus. Reusing containers also helps reduce the resources needed to continuously produce new disposable packaging.
