Johnny’s Luncheonette is now offering reusable takeout containers! You can order omelettes, other breakfast favorites like Burrata Avocado Toast as well as a full selection of sandwiches, burgers and salad in Recirclable containers. When you’ve finished your meal you simply have to rinse and return the food containers to any participating restaurant.
This network of Recirclable restaurants includes Judith’s Kitchen in West Newton, Grape Leaf in Newton Highlands, and Little Luke’s Cafe in Newton Upper Falls. Hundreds of Newton residents have used this service to reduce plastic waste while supporting local food establishments.
Below are some pictures of food being packaged and picked up by Newton residents in Recirclable containers. And here is a description of how it works:
