MONROE - The Monroe Post Office is reminding postal customers to clear snow and ice from sidewalks, stairs and mailboxes.
"Maintaining a clear path to the mail box - including steps, porches, walkways and street approach - will help letter carriers maintain consistent delivery service," Monroe Officer In Charge Ray Tesmer said in a news release.
Customers receiving door delivery should make sure their sidewalks, steps and porches are clear. Customers receiving curbside delivery should remove snow piles left by snow plows to keep access to mailboxes clear for letter carriers.
Delivery service may be delayed or curtailed if streets or walkways present hazardous conditions for letter carriers or when snow is plowed against mailboxes.
"The Postal Service curtails delivery only after careful consideration, and only as a last resort," Tesmer said. "Any curtailed mail is attempted the next delivery day."
Blue collection boxes also need to be kept clear for postal customers to deposit their mail and for the Postal Service to collect the mail for delivery. Residents and businesses with collection boxes near their property are asked to keep them clear of snow and ice.
