Motorized city, rural, and highway contract box delivery route carriers must cooperate to ensure the success of this endeavor and later report the results to the postmaster. In addition, postmasters should use the most up-to-date list of manufacturers and mailbox suppliers when providing motorized city, rural, and highway contract box delivery route customers with information about the type of box to install.

Mailbox Improvement Week Arrives in Time for Spring Cleaning
The U.S. Postal Service is asking all [city name] homeowners to inspect and repair their mailboxes during Mailbox Improvement Week, May 21-27, says Postmaster [full name].
“Repairing suburban and rural mailboxes improves the appearance of our community and makes delivering and receiving mail safer for our carriers and customers,” [last name] says.
The Postal Service makes this annual request because of the wear and tear that occurs to mailboxes every year. “This is especially important after the effects of last winter,” [he/she] adds [if applicable].
Some of the typical activities that may need to be done include:
“If a homeowner plans to install a new mailbox or replace a worn one, he or she must use only Postal Service-approved traditional, contemporary, or locking full/limited service mailboxes,” said [last name]. “Customers should be careful when purchasing curbside mail receptacles because the use of unapproved boxes is prohibited. Customers may use a custom-built mailbox, but they must consult with my office to ensure it conforms to guidelines applying to flag, size, strength, and quality of construction.”
For more information on the use of names or numbers on mailboxes, or answers to any other questions, contact Postmaster [full name] at [phone number] or call your local postmaster at [phone number].
