Trash Holiday: Monday, May 29, Memorial Day is a holiday for Paine’s. All trash and recycling pickups will be delayed by one day the week after the holiday.
Shredding event: In partnership with the Granby Lions Club, there will be a shredding event at the Granby DPW on Saturday, May 20, 9 a.m. to noon. There will also be a collection box for eyeglass donations.
Donahue Road Bridge: Work is progressing on the Donahue Road bridge. Tree removal and utility work began April 26. This may cause traffic delays. It is anticipated that the road will be closed to all traffic during the second week of May, approximately May 8. An electronic signboard will be placed near the bridge to post updates regarding the road closure.
Out by 6: Please remember that trash and recycling barrels need to be curbside by 6 a.m. on your scheduled day of pick up. When at the curb your barrels should be at least 2 feet apart to allow for clearance of the automatic arm of the truck.
