Trash Holiday: Monday, May 27 is a holiday for Paine’s. All trash and recycling pickups will be delayed by one day the week after the Memorial Day holiday.
Transfer Station hours: In addition to Saturdays, the transfer station will be open Wednesdays (8 a.m. to noon) through May 22.
DPW Open House and Shred event: Join us May 18 to learn about your DPW. The facility will be open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Come check out our trucks and equipment while hearing about the many functions we handle to keep Granby beautiful and safe. Refreshments available.
In partnership with the Granby Lions Club, there will also be a shredding event that day from 9 a.m. to noon. This event is for residential only, no businesses. Documents are shredded on-site. Plastic bags cannot go into the shredder so please bring items in paper bags or in containers which can be emptied into the barrels

Plastic bag recycling: Plastic bags and plastic wraps are recyclable but not in your curbside bin! Please look for the Store Drop Off label and take those bags/wraps 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 cannot be placed 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.
Hazardous waste collection: The next hazardous waste collection will be in Simsbury on Saturday, June 9. More details will follow in next month’s Drummer.
