completed Pick-Up Request form.

regarding the pick-up.
5. The driver calls the
contact person indicated on the Pick-Up Request Form to coordinate the
Pick-Up.

brought to the Recycling Facility. (The Full Drum is picked up and an
empty container dropped off). - Note:
Each drum holds roughly 1,350 of the 4'
T8 Straight Bulbs, 800 of the 4' T12 Straight Lamps, 400 of the 4' T12 bulbs
and 300 of the 4' T17 bulbs.
