Mailbox Access Clearing

What This Service Involves

When plows push a berm along the street, curbside mailboxes across Western Washington get walled off, and carriers will skip a box they cannot safely reach. We clear the standing area and the approach so the carrier has firm footing right up to the box. On rural routes through the foothills, we also open the pull-in space where drive-up delivery vehicles stop. Keeping this small but critical spot clear means checks, medications, and packages arrive on schedule despite the storm.

Benefits

Restores carrier access blocked by the street berm; keeps mail and medication deliveries on schedule; provides firm footing at the box for walking carriers; opens pull-in space on rural drive-up routes; prevents skipped delivery days

Our Process

1) We locate the mailbox and note the delivery method; 2) Crews clear the plow berm walling off the box; 3) We open firm standing or pull-in space at the box; 4) We grit the approach so footing stays reliable

What Affects the Cost

Distance from the cleared area to the box; height of the plow berm to remove; walking versus drive-up delivery; rural versus urban route access; frequency of reclearing after plow passes
