Mailboxes are a road obstruction within the township road right-of-ways; that may represent a hazard to the traveling public. Ohio Revised Code Section 5547.03, 5547.04; Manufacturer's National Bank of Detroit v. Erie City, Road Comm. (1992), 63 Ohio St. 3d 318.
Mailboxes damaged by DIRECT contact with a vehicle or it's plow blade while performing Township maintenance operations will be repaired or replaced with a 4 x 4 treated wooden post, and a mailbox approved by the United States Postal Service.

The expensive plastic style mailboxes will NOT be replaced. An inspection of the damaged mailbox by the Madison Township Service Department along with a signed release form is required prior to payment.
Mailbox Rules for Residents:

Keep the mailbox as far from the white-edge lines as practical.
-
Snow removed from your driveway should not be placed on the roadway or in a location that requires a plow to throw it at the mailbox.
