• Before buying five or more marked plastic containers, or ten or more wood containers, from one person at one time, the business must obtain the seller's name, address and phone, a description and count, the date and any delivery vehicle's plate, and verify the seller's photo ID. A.R.S. § 44-1799.81(A) (source)
