ROCHESTER, N.Y. — As the winter season is upon us in New York, the United States Postal Service is asking people to help keep mail carriers safe by keeping walkways and sidewalks approaching mailboxes clear from snow and ice.
“Any amount of snow can cause a dangerous situation for mail carriers and others. Keeping a clear path to and around mailboxes will help mail carriers continue consistent delivery as well as keep them safe from potential slipping and/or injuries,” the Postal Service said in a press release.
The Postal Service has provided the following snow removal tips:
Clear enough snow from curbside boxes to allow mail trucks to approach the box, deliver mail, and to drive away without the need for backing or leaving the vehicle. Walkways should be cleared of snow and ice, allowing enough traction to avoid slips, trips or falls. Steps and handrails should be kept clear of ice and snow and in good repair to avoid injury to letter carriers or others. Overhangs should be free of snow and ice as well to reduce the risk of falling debris.Anyone with questions is asked to call 1-800-275-8777 or click “Contact Us” on the Postal Service’s website here.
