Mailbox Improvement Week is here

The Postal Service is encouraging customers to spruce up their mailboxes during Mailbox Improvement Week, which begins Sunday, May 19.

Mailboxes should be fully operational, able to protect mail from the weather, safe to use, conveniently located and neat in appearance.

They should also be large enough to support the customer’s daily mail and package volume — within allowable size limits — and be of a design approved by the postmaster general.

In addition to aiding the Postal Service, mailbox improvement adds to an area’s aesthetics.

USPS holds Mailbox Improvement Week each year during the third week of May.

Postal Bulletin’s May 2 edition has more information and detailed specifications.

  1. If the USPS holds this event every year, why is this the first time I’m hearing about it?
