Household Hazardous Waste: Granby is again working with local towns to host hazardous waste collections this year. The first collection will be Saturday, April 23 from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. at 10 Monteith Drive, Farmington. For a list of accepted items, please check the Public Works page on the Town of Granby website granby-ct.gov. During 2022, there will be two additional hazardous waste collections held in Simsbury.
Shredding event: In conjunction with the Granby Lions Club, a shredding event will be held at the Granby DPW, 52 North Granby Road, on Saturday, May 21, from 9 a.m. to noon.
Yard Waste: Yard waste is banned from disposal in your curbside barrels. Grass and leaves are accepted free of charge at the transfer station. Brush is accepted for a fee; the charge is based on the size of the load. If possible, compost yard waste on site.
Recycling: If you have questions regarding recycling, check out the website recyclect.com Try the recycling wizard—a tool that allows you to ask about a specific item. If you still have questions, call Public Works (860) 653-8960.
Do not bag your recycling: Plastic bags and plastic film are a major source of contamination for the recycling plant. No plastic bags should go in your bin. To see how to recycle plastic film, check out: plasticfilmrecycling.org.
Bulky waste: please remember that you cannot dispose of large items in your curbside barrel. This includes items such as rugs, chairs, wood etc. These items can damage the trash truck.
