Please notice the Town's mailbox regulations prior to replacing an old or placing a new mailbox. These regulations can be found on this website under local laws. Not only is this a regulation of the Town but this swing-away design can save you money in the future since it's not so vulnerable to snowplow damage during the Town's vigorous snow removal needs in our snowy months. Thank you!
