A tag will be left on a barrel if it is deemed unacceptable. A list of accepted items is posted on the Public Works page on the Granby website or at recyclect.com Please no plastic bags/film, tanglers, yard clippings, construction waste or trash in your recycling barrel.

Yard debris: Residents are asked to keep their yard debris out of the road. This will help to keep drain basins clear and open allowing for proper drainage.
