Mailbox improvement week May 15-20
The U.S. Postal Service is
asking
all
Heppner
and
Lexington
homeowners
to
inspect
and
repair
their
mailboxes
during
Mailbox
Improvement Week, May 15-
20, says Postmaster Debbie
Rutherford.
"Repairing rural mailboxes
improves the appearance of our
community
and
makes
delivering and receiving mail
safer for our carriers and
customers," Rutherford 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 winter," she adds.
Some of the typical activities
that may need to be done
include;
-Replacing loose hinges on a
mailbox door.
-Repainting a mailbox that
may have rusted or started
peeling.
-Remounting a mailbox post if
loosened.
-Replacing or adding house
numbers.
"If a homeowner plans to
install a new mailbox or replace
a worn one, he or she must use
only Postal Service-approved
traditional or contemporary
mailboxes," said Rutherford.
"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,

Postmaster Debbie Rutherford
at the Heppner Post Office, 676-
