The Town does not have insurance or a policy to replace mailboxes that are damaged during normal snow removal operations.

Mailbox Policy

Please Note:

• Any residents with portable basketball hoops, please make sure they are moved off the street.
• Also, please keep your trash bins in your driveway opening - not in the street.
• We need to keep the roadways clear - obstacles such as these impede on our drivers and trucks during the plowing season.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.

Pushing Snow on the Road:

Mendon Bylaws Chapter 9, Section 5, prohibits pushing or piling snow in the roadway. 

No person other than an employee in the service of the Commonwealth or any political division thereof or an employee in the service of an independent contractor acting for the commonwealth or any such subdivision shall pile, push or plow snow or ice into a State or Town Highway so as to impede the flow of traffic on such way. Whoever violates this section shall be punished by a fine of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for first offense, fifty dollars ($50.00) for subsequent offenses.” In order to keep Mendon’s roads safe and passable for both the residents and highway personnel, we enforce this law strictly and will utilize whatever means necessary to prevent this problem.
