Shake Your Mailbox Day Scheduled for October 24th
Once it starts snowing, mailboxes run the risk of being damaged by plows. Therefore, it is important to make sure that your mailbox is as strong and sturdy as possible. The Road Commission for Oakland County, in conjunction with the County Road Assocation of Michigan and the U.S. Postal Service, is encouraging residents to participate in the 1st statewide Shake Your Mailbox Day on October 24th. The purpose of this is to make mailbox posts are steady and that the hardware holding the box is in good shape. If you notice any problems with your mailbox, you should try to fix it as soon as possible.
