Independence Day: Tuesday, July 4 is a holiday for Paine’s. All Tuesday through Friday trash pickups will be delayed by one day.
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 our roads. Weather permitting, the work will begin late July. Until that time please be aware of raised structures in the roadway. While work is in progress, please use caution and pay attention to any flaggers directing traffic.
Bridge work: The Moosehorn Road temporary bridge has been removed and the replacement bridge is open to all traffic. Finishing touches on Moosehorn Road bridge will be completed in the next few months. Donahue Road Bridge replacement is now underway. Donahue Road is scheduled to be closed to all traffic as of July 10.
Signs on the town green: Prior to placing a sign on any town property, approval must be received from the Town Manager’s office. The request form can be found under the Residents link on the Town of Granby website.
Ashes: Do not put any ashes in your 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: 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.
