October is Shake Your Mailbox Month

Every year some Township residents see their mailboxes topple over as a result of snowplows piling snow against weak posts or hardware. In an effort to reduce the likelihood of this happening, the Bloomfield Township Department of Public

Works is encouraging residents to “Shake Your Mailbox.” This will tell you whether your mailbox posts are sturdy and the hardware is holding them is

in good shape. If not, you will be able to correct any problems before damage from snowplows occurs. Repairing or replacing mailboxes now could also present delays in mail delivery. Call the Public Services office at 248-594-2800 with any questions.
