            A drop-off container is typically managed by a small group of staff, administrators. The administrator(s) oversee managing the drop-off location and distribution.

            WHERE IS THE DROP-OFF PROGRAM LOCATED?

            The drop-off container is a large, blue, metal weather-resistant mailbox located at the front door of the Plaza entrance of the Development Services Building.

            HOW DO I KNOW THAT MY DOCUMENTS ARE NOT LOST?
