Blue Friendlier Containers Cost 50 Cents Each! Here is How to Get Your Money

Have you noticed the blue containers used at Street Café, L Commons cafeteria, Food Emporium, LinX Lounge, and the Staff Lounge? That’s Friendlier! 

Friendlier is the reusable food container program active at Humber North and Lakeshore campuses helping to reduce single-use packaging. The containers are picked up on-site at Humber, washed, and then delivered back to campus for all students, staff, and faculty to use. These containers can be reused up to 100 times. This is one of the ways Humber is reducing waste on campus. 

How it works:  

  1. Receive your meal in a friendlier container and pay a $0.50 deposit 
  2. Enjoy your meal and scrape what is left into the organics bin 
  3. Scan the QR code on the back of the container using the Friendlier app 
  4. Return your container to a blue Friendlier collection bin (available throughout food service areas) 
  5. Receive your deposit back within 1-2 weeks on the Friendlier app (click here to download on Apple or Android)  

If you have any questions, please ask the food service staff or email diningplan@humber.ca.
