Newspaper Receptacles

If news companies can only deliver mail to curbside mailboxes on Sunday, you might be wondering how they are able to get their newspapers to all their customers. Well, the USPS allows for the use of a newspaper receptacle on curbside mailboxes. A newspaper receptacle is a separate storage compartment that's attached to a curbside mailbox's post.

According to the USPS, all curbside mailboxes can have a newspaper receptacle to receive newspaper deliveries. The newspaper receptacle must be mounted in a way that doesn't interfere with the mailbox's functionality. It should also not extend past the front of the mailbox when closed. Furthermore, newspaper receptacles must not have any advertising or promotional material displayed on it. The only thing a newspaper receptacle can show is the title or name of the news company or newspaper publication.

Even with the age of digital media upon us, millions of people prefer to read printer newspaper. The USPS has rules that news companies must follow when delivering these newspapers to their customers. Unless it's on Sunday, they typically can't deliver them to customers' mailboxes. But news companies can deliver newspapers to a special receptacle, which is attached to the post of a curbside mailbox.
