A list of accepted items is available on the Town of Granby website. The following additional services will be provided: Electronics recycling (items with Freon not accepted) and document shredding, special hours 8:30 a.m. -12:30 p.m. or until the truck is full. Two box limit per resident. For information, call the Granby DPW at 860-653-8960.
Winter preparation: As we prepare for winter, DPW crews will be out marking plow routes and trimming trees.
Signs: Generally, no private signs are permitted on town property. Before placing a sign on the town green, please contact the town manager’s office for approval. Signs should only be placed on the roadside with permission of the property owner. Signs should never be placed in traffic islands.
Textile recycling: You can still recycle textiles curbside, but you must contact Simple Recycling to schedule a pickup. It can be done online at simplerecycling.com or by calling 1-866-835-5068.
Plastic bag recycling: Plastic bags, wraps and mailers are recyclable—but not in your curbside bin! Please look for the Store Drop Off label and take your bags/wraps with this label to your local store.
Along the same lines, please do not place your recyclables in plastic bags. Once the bag reaches the processing plant, they will assume it is trash and remove it from the recycling line. You’re basically wasting your recycling effort by doing this.
Yard waste: Yard waste is not allowed in your trash or recycling barrels. Yard waste has been banned from curbside barrels since 1998. Grass, leaves and brush should be composted on site or brought to the Granby Transfer Station.
