Current pump renters may EXTEND their rental by leaving a message on our business line, or if there are some questions, at the number above.  To RETURN a rental, please return it in the container (Symphony pumps must include yellow bottle stand), and leave with the doorman located in the main entrance of our building.  A message that you have left the pump should be left indicating this (and it will verify your timely return in order to avoid late fees).
