# Return Station Recommendations

- Use an iPad mini (the latest version) for the return station  
    - Minis, obviously, will take up the least amount of space, if space is an issue 
    - The app does work on all types of tablets, iPads are easiest for the USEFULL team to test and ensure quality
- Set up the return station near a power source
- Place signage/marketing that includes instructions on how to return the containers near the return stations 
- Make sure the iPad is not facing a window  
    - this is to ensure that sunlight will not interfere with users scanning containers back in
- Set the iPads brightness feature to the highest level
- Set auto-lock feature to never so the iPad never falls asleep
