As the leaves continue to fall, it’s a friendly reminder that winter is just around the corner…the roads aren’t the only thing that take a beating during the winter months.
To prevent damage from snow thrown by passing plow trucks, Macomb County residents are encouraged to prepare mailboxes for winter by tightening screws and ensuring the post and mailbox are secure enough to withstand large amounts of thrown snow.
The Macomb County Department of Roads encourages residents to check the location, stability, and durability of their mailboxes. If your mailbox moves when shaken, it may not survive standard snow removal operations and should be repaired or replaced before winter. Taking a few minutes to ensure your mailbox is properly secured will save you time and hassle later on!
