Why is the placement of my mailbox important?

A mailbox that is too low and/or too close to the curb line (see USPS requirements) becomes a “target” for snow removal equipment or the snow windrow. Plows are designed to avoid contact with mailboxes that are installed according to USPS regulations. Setting your box to height regulations and far enough back on the curb will minimize or eliminate any possible damage from snow removal operations.
