wellesley town hall payments box — Thinking outside the box: Wellesley Treasurer Marc Waldman (left) shows off the new payments drop box at Town Hall alongside Ricky Phillipo, part of the DPW crew that installed the new taxpayer convenience

Wellesley treasurer Marc Waldman says the town’s treasurer/collector’s office “has been trying off and on for about twenty years” to get a payments box installed at Town Hall, similar to one at the Municipal Light Plant. Finally, the deed has been done.

Waldman says that because the Town Hall grounds are park land, installation of the metal box required Natural Resources Commission approval. “This year I worked with NRC’s Brandon Schmitt and we got The Commission’s approval,” Waldman says.

“The box can be used for most Town Hall mail, except absentee ballots,” he says. “The idea is that people won’t have to use up limited Town Hall parking if they just want to drop off payments.”

As you might imagine, the box is super strong to contain some of those really big checks… wellesley town hall payments box
