Tiffin Takeout Project

Did you know that even the brown paper takeout boxes often contain plastic?

CCAPP’s major project at present is the Tiffin Takeout Project. Modeled on a similar successful project in New Paltz, it's an outreach to local restaurants to convince them to allow and even encourage their take-out customers to use their own reusable containers for takeout orders.

We're facilitating this request by selling (at cost) stainless steel tiffin boxes (3-tiered containers) for customers to use for takeout. We're also able to make them available at no cost to restaurants who sign on, thanks to a donation from a local business.

We are currently working with a handful of restaurants in Saugerties, listed below, and looking to expand to Woodstock, Kingston, and eventually beyond.

Please contact us if you are interested in purchasing a tiffin box, if you’re a restaurant owner or employee interested in joining the cause, or if you’d like to join us! It’s a great way to get out and support your favorite eateries - or just somewhere you’ve always wanted to try. You can also call CCAPP member Edith Bolt at 917-453-2082 to purchase a tiffin.
