We clean your issued gear by hand so it passes the CIF inspection. Bring your gear and your DA 3645. We count everything in, call you about anything missing before we start, and have it ready in 72 hours.
Drop Zone is a private business. It is not affiliated with the U.S. Army, Fort Carson or any Central Issue Facility.
CIF checks every piece against the same short list. Anything you take apart has to go back together before you hand it in. We handle all of it.
Bring your gear as it is, plus your DA 3645 clothing record. No need to unpack or take anything apart. We tag your bag at the counter and hand you a ticket.
In the back, we lay everything out against your DA 3645 and photograph it. If something is short, we call you the same day, before any cleaning starts.
Hard gear is soaked, scrubbed by hand and air dried. Rucksacks and vests are taken apart, cleaned and put back together.
Ready in 72 hours, or 24 with express. You get your list back with anything short marked, so you know before you reach the CIF window.
Priced by the kind of turn-in you have, because that decides what has to come to CIF.
Standard turnaround is 72 hours. Express is subject to workload, so call ahead in the summer rush.
Gear straight back from a field rotation can take far longer to clean. If yours needs it, we tell you the extra cost before we start and wait for your yes.
Bring the item back and it goes to the front of the line.
We can't control what an inspector decides, so we don't promise acceptance. We do stand behind our cleaning. The promise covers our work. It doesn't cover items that were already missing, paperwork problems or damage that was there when you dropped off. Full terms are on the intake form you sign at the counter.
A strip center just outside Gate 3. Drop off on the way to or from post, on your lunch break or after the duty day.
Open before the duty day, through lunch, after close of business, and on Saturdays.
Whether you use us or clean it yourself. Check with your CIF for its current rules, because they change.
Yes. We count your gear against it and tell you what is short. Without it we can still clean, but we can't tell you what is missing.
72 hours is standard. 24-hour express is available for an extra charge, depending on how busy we are.
No one can promise that, because the inspector decides. If an item we cleaned is turned away for cleanliness, bring it back and we redo it free, same day.
We assess it when we count it in. If it needs extra work, we call you with the price and wait for your yes before starting.
Everything is counted and photographed when it comes in, and you get the written list. After that point, anything that goes missing is on us, up to the limit stated on the intake form.
Call us. If it sits unclaimed for 30 days, we contact your unit supply office or turn it in to CIF directly, because it is Army property and not ours to keep.
