The County of Prince Edward is encouraging all residents to prepare their mailboxes for the upcoming winter season.
- Mailboxes should be checked to ensure they are structurally sound. Posts that have rotted or are in otherwise poor condition are susceptible to damage from heavy snow.
- The municipality does not replace units that are damaged by pushed slush or snow.
- If a mailbox is struck and damaged as a result of winter road operations and is deemed to have been in good condition and in compliance with RD500 Mailbox Encroachment Policy prior to the incident, the municipality will replace the damaged unit with a standard mailbox per the policy.
- Residents are encouraged to review and understand the RD500 Mailbox Encroachment Policy.
