ABSTRACT:
A security mail receptacle having a mail-receiving portion 1 mounted on a hollow support pole 1a is provided. The mail-receiving portion 1 contains an opening 11 on the inside bottom thereof through which delivered mail falls into the hollow support pole 1a. A tray 4 inside the mail-receiving portion 1, which is separated by a dividing wall 2 from the opening 11, holds outgoing mail for pickup by a Postal Service worker. The delivered mail is retrieved by the resident merely by unlocking a door 15 on the back side of the hollow support pole 1a. The hollow support pole 1a may be mounted on the ground or on a concrete support base 7. Optional handles, one 19 on the mailbox door 9 and the other 20 on the mailbox 1, are provided to aid in opening and closing the mailbox door 9 and for locking said door with a padlock 21 to prevent delivery when mail has been forwarded.
