Town of West Brookfield Snow and Mailbox Policy

The Town of West Brookfield does not replace mailboxes unless a plow, working for the Town, goes off the roadway and physically hits the mailbox. Most times, mailboxes are damaged from the force of the snow being pushed off the road and not by the plow hitting it. Mailboxes should be checked prior to the snow season for stability and make repairs or replace prior to the cold weather. If a mailbox is struck physically, the maximum refund to the homeowner is up to $50.00.
