Doug Carlson, a frequent consumer intervenor in postal rate cases, alerted us to the database of collection box data now posted on the Postal Rate Commission web site:

“The data show the location and collection times for every collection in the country. The Postal Service resisted release of the data for several years, but a federal judge ordered the Postal Service last year to release the data in response to my Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.”

Note that the data is from January of 2005.
