USPS Asks Customers to Clear Snow and Ice as Mail Deliveries Resume
As mail deliveries resume following a recent snowstorm, the United States Postal Service is urging customers to help keep letter carriers safe.
USPS officials are asking residents to clear snow and ice from walkways, sidewalks, steps, porches, and areas surrounding mailboxes. According to the agency, icy surfaces and heavy snow buildup can create dangerous conditions for carriers attempting to deliver mail.
Customers who receive curbside delivery are also reminded to ensure there is clear and safe access to mailboxes from the street. Blocked or snow-covered mailboxes can delay delivery and increase the risk of slips and falls.
The Postal Service says taking a few minutes to clear these areas can help protect mail carriers and keep mail service running smoothly during winter weather.
