1. You can e-mail HUMS directly at hd_trans@harvard.edu.  Tape a note on the stack of bins and leave them in front of the large tables at the entrance
2. You can include that you have a stack of empty bins in your next pickup request.
   
3. Use one of the large cards on the wire rack in the mail area that says "Please return empty bins" to place on top of the stack of bins. You can close the top bin to have a surface on which to place the large card. They will usually leave it behind for us to reuse the card/sign behind on the large tables so we can re-use it. Please return it to the wire shelves if you find it there left on the table.

Letting them know in advance will help them to plan if they have a full truck, but Frank said that it's okay to use option #3.
