Blue collection boxes having final collection times before 12 p.m. will not be affected by these changes. However, collection boxes with final collection times scheduled after that may be collected early. Therefore, mail should be deposited into these mailboxes by 12 p.m. for early pick-up on Dec. 31. Customers requiring postal services later on that day are encouraged to contact their local Post Office. Customers also may call 1.800.ASK.USPS for additional information.
Post Offices will be closed Jan. 1. Express Mail only will be delivered on New Year’s Day. All Post Offices will be open and regular mail delivery will resume Jan. 2.
The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
