Bulky waste: Large items such as carpet, furniture, metal pieces cannot be placed in your trash barrel. Items such as these can be brought to the transfer station during hours of operation. If you are unable to transport the items, please contact Paine’s directly for a pickup. There will be a fee to dispose of large items either at the transfer station or through Paine’s.
Transfer Station: The Granby Transfer Station is open on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Yard debris: Residents are asked to keep their yard debris out of the road. This will help to keep our basins clean to allow proper drainage, and help prevent skidding accidents for bikers and motorcyclists.
