Mailboxes and Snowstorms

Spring Garden Township echos PennDOT in that “Property owners are permitted to place mailboxes within the limits of the legal right-of-way along roadways out of respect for the U.S. Postal Service’s need to deliver the mail and the mailbox customer’s convenience of delivery. But because some mailboxes are located in the legal right-of-way, damages are the responsibility of the property owner.”

PennDOT Urges Homeowners to Winterize their Mailboxes

If you feel Township plow equipment on Township local roads (not state roads owned by PennDOT) physically struck and damaged a mailbox, please refer the Public Works page for more information.
