Sustainability

Our Initiatives

Your Sodexo Campus Dining Team is dedicated to sustainability. We know we can all work together to make a positive impact right here at Colorado Mountain College - Steamboat Springs. In addition to the many initiatives we take on as a company, we have implemented the following programs specific to Colorado Mountain College - Steamboat Springs.

Trayless

We are a trayless campus. Customers without trays typically waste less food and beverages. It is also a healthier approach to eating, as we all know that at times our eyes are bigger than our stomach. Trayless dining also reduces the amount of water and detergents needed to wash trays - and saves energy too!

Xprss Nap

Xprss Nap Dispensers save energy and waste. The napkins are made of 100% recycled paper and the dispenser will encourage customers to take (and waste) fewer napkins. Energy is saved because less power is used to recycle paper products than to create them from virgin material.

Reusable Green Box Program

We provide reusable to-go boxes for free at check-in to all on-campus students. Once the box gets used and returned to the dining hall, we exchange it for a clean and sanitized one. If broken or lost, there is a $5.00 fee to buy back into the program. Additional reusable soup containers or cups can be purchased at the cost of $3.00.

Food Recovery Verified

We work with the Campus Food Recovery Network by donating food that would otherwise go to waste to people in need in our community.

Industrial Grease Recycling

We take our used fryer oil and have it recycled into bio fuel that is used all across Colorado.
