You will receive an email reminder the day before the last rental day to pack up the crate and take to the school office for pick up after 1:00 pm. Please ensure all of the non-consumable contents have been returned to the crate prior to pick up.

On the final day of your rental, our delivery service will automatically come to pick up the crate at the school’s main office. Please note that if the crate is not ready for pick up – the school may be charged for wait time and/or a $15 fee if pick up needs to be rescheduled. If the Greyhound bus is used you may need to deliver crate to the bus depot.
