October is Mailbox Maintenance Month

Attention Postal Customers: October is Mailbox Maintenance Month!
Mailboxes take a beating from the weather, so we recommend an annual mailbox checkup to avoid damage to your mail or difficulty identifying your address. Here is a list of ways to keep your mailbox in tip-top shape:
  • Tighten loose hinges on the door
  • Take care of rusty or loose parts
  • Replace missing or faded house numbers (numerals not less than one inch)
  • Keep the path to your mailbox clear
  • Approach to box should be a hard level surface (gravel, cinders, stone)
  • Post must be straight and of adequate strength and size
Notices will soon be delivered to mailboxes that need to immediate work.
Please make these fixes ASAP to avoid delivery delays!
