Pick-up is 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM (NOT before). This program has grown to over 400 boxes each month and we need your full cooperation in order to continue offering this service. Pickups MUST BE made on this day. If you or your designee are unable to pick up on the scheduled day, we must hear from you before 4:00 PM or you will be considered a "no show." Two "no shows" within a 6 month period will result in removal from the program.
