Independence Day: Monday, July 4, is a holiday for Paine’s. All trash pickups will be delayed by one day for that week.
Road resurfacing: Each year the town focuses its paving resources on roadways that are in poor condition. This year various road resurfacing methods will be used to improve these roads. Weather permitting, the resurfacing will begin late July. Until that time please be aware of raised structures in the roadway. While work is in progress, you may experience delays or detours. The roads scheduled for repair are Loomis Street in its entirety and a portion of both Quarry Road and Kelly Lane.
Signs on telephone poles: Signs and flags are not permitted on telephone poles. The poles are property of the local telephone or power company. There is no permit that allows a sign or flag to be placed on a pole.
Signs on the town green: Prior to placing a sign on any town property, approval must be received from the Town Manager’s office. Guidelines are posted on the Public Documents page of the town website.
Ashes: Do not put any ashes in your trash barrel. A single ash can remain “live” (still able to ignite) for up to 96 hours. If a barrel is melted or damaged by ashes, the cost of replacing the barrel will be the responsibility of the resident.
Extra trash bags: are available at Granby Public Works, 52 North Granby Road from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday or from the Transfer Station attendant during Transfer Station hours.
