Newspaper Receptacle

A lightweight receptacle for newspaper delivery can be attached to a mailbox support if the receptacle meets all of the following conditions:
  • It does not touch any mailboxes.
  • It is mounted below the mailbox and above the object marker.
  • It does not extend beyond the front of the mailbox.
  • It does not display any advertising other than the name of the newspaper.
  • It does not present a hazard to traffic or to mail delivery.
The newspaper receptacle is placed on the downstream side of the post so that an object marker can be placed on the side facing traffic. Figure 9-22 illustrates newspaper receptacle placement.
