If that's the only reason you're giving each checkbox a unique name, you may
want to consider using a CFIF within your INPUT tag to check the appropriate
checkboxes based on the value of a URL parameter or, better yet, a hidden
form field, like this:
<input type="checkbox" name="service" value="Fluorescent Bulb Disposal"
<cfif form.source is ="Fluorescent Bulb Disposal">checked</cfif>>
That way, you eliminate the need for a cryptic service code that's not truly
tied to the service name. If you ever have a need to check more than one
checkbox based on the source page, you can just pass a list in the hidden
form field and change your CFIF statement to: <cfif
ListFindNoCase(form.source,"Fluorescent Bulb Disposal")>
This solution will also scale well:
<cfoutput>
<cfloop list="#form.service#" index="i">
#i#<br>
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>
