What do I do if the township breaks my mailbox while plowing snow?

When plowing snow we attempt to get as close to the curb as we can, so it is not unusual to have some damaged mailboxes. If we break it we will fix it. If your mailbox was broken by us, please fill out the Mailbox/Yard Damage Report or call our Public Works Division at 810-424-2600 Ext. 2903. The day after we complete the snow removal we will begin making repairs. In some cases we may have to make a temporary repair, which will allow you to receive your mail, and come back and complete the repair in the spring. If your mail box is repairable the Township will repair it but if the mail box is beyond repair it will be replaced with a standard mail box and a standard pole.
