Independence Day: Friday, July 4, is a holiday for USA/Paine’s. All 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. Various road resurfacing methods will be used to improve our roads. This summer, some type of preservation process will be completed on the following: Doherty Road, Petersen Road, Copper Hill Road, Hampton Village Drive, Canal Road, Orchard Hill Road, Laurel Drive, Evergreen Drive, Genis Hill Road, Trout Drive, Shattuck Avenue, Oakridge Drive, Round Hill Road, Duncaster Wood and Duncaster Circle.
Prep work, including basin replacement, has begun on these roads. Weather permitting, the paving 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 flaggers directing traffic. For information and updates, please go to the Town of Granby website, granby-ct.gov
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 trash 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.
