post boxes
Street mail containers
Post boxes are public receptacles where mail is deposited for collection and delivery by postal services.
In British usage, they are the familiar red cylindrical or pillar-shaped containers mounted on streets; Americans more often call these mailboxes.
The term also applies to locked boxes at post offices where individuals or businesses receive their mail.
