Return your tray. Get your $5 back. Think of it as a postage box for food — except instead of state secrets, it's a metal tray and a $5 refund waiting on the other end.
Cold War dead drops worked because the exchange was asynchronous — the sender and receiver never had to meet. Our drop boxes work the same way. You leave the tray. We pick it up. Your refund processes automatically. No coordination, no friction.
The boxes are weatherproof, lockable, and positioned for maximum neighborhood coverage. We empty them 3× per week during the initial rollout period. Every tray that comes back gets sanitized, inspected, and returned to rotation.
Central North Side location. High foot traffic, close to Allegheny Commons Park. Proposed exterior wall mount at the corner of Buena Vista & Galveston Ave.
