drop-off location

Package deposit point

A drop-off location is a designated place where something is left for collection, delivery, or transfer.

Packages go to drop-off locations for shipping, voters leave ballots at drop-off locations, and parents deliver children to school drop-off locations.

The term emphasizes the act of leaving rather than picking up: The recycling center serves as a drop-off location for electronics.
