Trash Holiday: Memorial Day, Monday, May 26, is a holiday for USA Waste/Paine’s. All trash and recycling pickups will be delayed by one day the week after the holiday.
Transfer Station hours: In addition to Saturdays, the transfer station will be open Wednesday mornings from 8 a.m. to noon.
Open House/Shredding/Textile collection: Stop by the DPW on Saturday, May 17 between 9 a.m. and noon to check out the trucks and equipment while hearing about the many functions DPW handles to keep Granby beautiful and safe. Refreshments available.
Personal paper shredding service and a textile collection will also be available during this time. Documents are shredded on-site. Plastic bags cannot go into the shredder—please bring items in paper bags or in containers that can be emptied into barrels. Many thanks to the Granby Lions Club for sponsoring the shredding event.
Textiles that are clean, dry and odorless are accepted. Please bag items. Check helpsy.com/what-we-accept to see what is accepted
Yard Waste: Yard waste cannot be placed in your trash or recycling barrel. 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 7. More details will follow in next month’s Drummer.
