Extra trash and recycling: If your trash is piling up this holiday season, extra trash bags are on sale at both the DPW and Transfer Station during hours of operation. Bags are $2 each and can be placed next to your trash barrel on your pickup day. Extra recycling can be brought to the transfer station.
Christmas trees: Public works will pick up Christmas trees during the first two weeks of January. Weather permitting, trees will be picked up on the same day as your trash. Please make sure the tree is visible and accessible. After this time, trees can be dropped off the transfer station at no charge.
Transfer Station hours: the transfer station will be open Wednesday mornings (8 a.m. to noon) through Dec. 31.
Salt and sand: A mix of sand and salt mix is available at the Granby Animal Shelter across from the McLean Game Refuge entrance on Route 10. Residents are welcome to the equivalent of one 5-gallon bucket at a time.
Winter operations: Please read the DPW Winter Hints in this month’s Drummer or check the public works page on the Granby website at granby-ct.gov. In preparation for winter weather, town crews will be cleaning out waterways and ditches. Please use caution when passing work crews.
