NOTE: DO NOT CALL UPS TO HAVE YOUR BOXES PICKED UP!
UPS charges a mandatory fee for this, which cannot be waived. To avoid unnecessary shipping fees, the collection boxes should be sent back using one of the following methods:
- Leave your collection boxes out for the UPS driver to see when making deliveries. Drivers are required to pickup UPS packages with ARS labels when they drop off packages.
- Take your filled collection boxes to a UPS authorized drop-off location. For the location of the nearest UPS Center, please call 1.800.PICKUPS or visit www.ups.com/dropoff.
