Curbside Collection
The Town of Granby strives to provide safe and reliable trash and recycling services for all eligible properties. Per town ordinance, eligible properties are residential properties with one or two dwelling units.
The town contracts with Paine's Inc. based in East Granby, Connecticut. All inquiries regarding trash or recycling services should be directed to the Department of Public Works at 860-653-8960.
Trash Holidays
During a holiday week, if your pick-up day falls on or after the holiday, your trash and recycling will be picked up one day after your regularly scheduled collection day for that week only.
View a list of this year's holidays.
Collection Do's & Don'ts
- Barrels must be curbside by 6 am on collection day. Barrels may not be placed curbside prior to 4 pm the day before pickup. Barrels must be removed from the curbside no later than 7 am of the day after pickup.
- The barrel opening should face the street.
- Trash should be placed in your blue 64-gallon barrel. Recycling goes in the green 95-gallon barrel.
- All items must be inside the barrel with the lid closed.
- Make sure your barrels are at least 2 feet apart to allow clearance for the automatic arm of the truck.
- Call Public Works at 860-653-8960 if your barrel was curbside at 6 am and you think your collection was missed. Please call as soon as possible so that we can contact Paine's while the truck is still in the area.
- Contact Public Works if your barrel is damaged. In the case of vandalism or a missing barrel, you will be asked to file a report with the Granby Police Department.
- Only town-issued barrels may be used.
- Place barrels in the street.
- Put your barrels out late assuming that the truck will come at the same time every week. There are numerous factors that may affect the time the truck will get to your house and trucks will not be sent back if your barrel is not at the curb.
- Put explosives, electronic, biological, hazardous, liquid or radioactive waste in your barrel.
- Put leaves, grass clippings, brush or branches in your barrel. (All of these items may be brought to the Granby Transfer Station.)
- Place hot ashes or coals in your barrel.
- Paint or mark your barrel. Remember you are responsible for your barrel and any damage that is caused by you.

Extra Recycling
