Trash Holiday: Memorial Day, Monday, May 25, 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 16, 9 a.m. to noon. Check out our trucks and equipment while hearing about the many functions we handle 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 which can be emptied into barrels. Thank you to the Granby Lions Club for sponsoring the shredding event.
Textiles in any condition are accepted as long as they are clean, dry and odorless. 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 13. More details will follow in next month’s Drummer.
