According to a USPS spokesperson, blue collection boxes have historically been installed and removed on streets 'based on mail volume received in those boxes,' and sometimes relocated to 'growth areas' or consolidated in 'high-traffic areas'

Even before he candidly explained why he was denying the postal service — which has been under severe strain throughout the pandemic — the bailout it would need to accommodate widespread mail-in voting, Trump has been making trouble for the agency. Late last week, the administration reshuffled USPS leadership and consolidated authority under Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, who has seemed to actively work against the service’s mail-delivering capabilities since his appointment in May.
“The reason we’re doing it is because of declining mail volume,” Swanson said, noting that the orders came from USPS HQ last week. “Ever since the pandemic came along, people are mailing less for some reason.”
