The Last Straw: In an effort to reduce single- use plastic on campus, plastic straws and stirrers will no longer be available across our foodservice operations. Eco – friendly straws are available upon request.
Hydration Stations: Free, filtered water is available at 35 bottle filling stations on all three campuses. Collectively, as of January 2020 the stations have helped keep more than 1,000,000 plastic bottles out of area landfills.

Reusable Beverage Container Program: Quench your thirst while caring for our environment. Simply replace
typical disposable drink containers with Suffolk-branded reusable drink containers and mugs. Then use your

always only pay for the price of a small beverage, no matter the size of your container! Plus, use your reusable containers for free water refills at conveniently located bottle filling stations across the College.
