The United States Postal Service is closing five mail collection box locations around the city of Crowley.
According to Postmaster Zachary Hoffpauir, the locations are being closed following a national survey that was based on mail volume.
If a particular box did not have enough mail volume during the survey, it was ordered to be closed and removed.
The five locations that will be removed are in front of the public library, in front of the police department, near Jaguar Energy, near Tobacco Plus, and near the Dollar Tree.
However, three mailboxes will remain active. Those are on the east side of the Acadia Parish Court House, in front of Wal-Mart and in front of First National Bank. As well as those in front of the Postal Service Office.
Attached to the recently closed mailboxes was a note that stated:
