## Which code does this activity belong in?

Establishments in this industry operate coin-operated laundry and drycleaning equipment that customers use themselves on the premises, or supply and service such self-service equipment placed in other locations like apartments and dormitories. The critical distinction separates self-service operations from full-service drycleaning and laundry businesses classified in Drycleaning and Laundry Services, where employees perform the cleaning work rather than customers operating machines themselves. Linen and Uniform Supply differs by providing laundered items on a rental or contract basis rather than self-service equipment for customer use.
