Where is the blue?




With the number of “blue mailboxes” on street corners dropping, what else is next? Phone booths are being eliminated and now collection boxes? In 2000 there were close to 400,000 blue collection boxes on city sidewalks and corners, there are now 160,000. With more people sending emails, paying bills electronically and even receiving coupons online, the need for mail is becoming less and less. If the volume is low the collection box is removed, what else is next with technology always changing?
