Oh I love this! Which part of SG?
Answering my own question https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/71244/what-are-those-dark-green-mailboxes-dont-accept-mail
Is this correct?
Hello @shermint! You have such a good eye! Green boxes are next to many yellow boxes. They are auxiliary boxes for the exclusive use of postmen. They leave the mail bags there. On long routes they can leave part of the mail there…

Can I post this to the IG?
Of course!
When I traveled to Minsk, Belarus, this summer I took these pictures. The second one is on the main post office building.

Welcome to my CMB (Community MailBox). These are found in 
See the middle red area? That is the mail slot where I mail YOUR postcards 
If I am receiving a parcel too big for my mailbox, the Canada Post Mail Carrier leaves a KEY inside my personal compartment (I’m number 5) then I look at the key tag to find the letter that matches the parcel compartment down below. Once I’ve removed my big package (with much excitement 
) I close and lock the door, returning the key through the front hole of the compartment box!

@saintursula what wonderful service you receive by your Mail Carrier in the US! To pick up your outgoing mail when they deliver yours to your home

Disney California Adventure mailbox for outgoing mail. There is no special postmark from Disneyland anymore. However, the boxes still operate as employees take the mail deposited and take it to a post office in Anaheim. The mail later gets postmarked by Anaheim Processing and Distribution Center. Anaheim P&DC.
