Service Burlington Drop Boxes

The City has two secure drop boxes where cheques and other non-negotiable items can be deposited for City staff and elected officials.

Drop boxes are located:

• On Elgin Street, to the right of the doors beside Coffee Culture
• On Locust Street, to the right of the City Hall entrance

Each drop box is emptied daily during business hours and items are delivered to City facilities and offices through the inter-office mail system.

Inter-office mail is not delivered to employee homes if they are hybrid workers outside of the office. If your item is time-sensitive, contact the person it is for and make sure they are available to receive it at a City facility or office.

Seal your item in an envelope and label it with the full name and department that this item is for.
