This new collection box can be reached from the driver's side of a vehicle, something new in this part of Alton.

It is located in the "alley" (actually Second Street) next to the downtown Alton Visitors Center, just past the Center on a grassy area on the left. No need any more to drive across busy Belle Street against traffic to mail letters!
