Garbage & Recycling

Granville Village Council has recently voted to go to a “single hauler” plan for trash pickup, which begins Jan. 1.

If you are already on Big O, the chosen contractor for the village, this won’t mean much complication, although if you’re on Waste Management, you’ll need to shift to Thursday pickup, i.e., Wed. night.

For everyone, the trash bill will come along with your village water bill (our nearby neighbors who are not on village water will be billed separately). The amount will be $14.65 a month, with Big O now managing a three year contract with both the village and the township. Senior citizens will qualify for a 10% discount on top of this rate, which is lower than residents are paying now for either company now serving the neighborhood.

If you want to recycle, you simply need to call Big O -- 345-2086 -- and let them know you would like a bin. Both recycling and yard waste pickup are included in the village contract.

Due to the effects of Murphy’s Law, Wednesday night seems to often be a windy and rainy night, and Big O’s recycle truck usually comes around 6:30 to 7 am. While the trustees of the Homeowners’ Association encourage recycling by all our households, we also strongly suggest that you make sure to secure your recycling when you set out your bins as most do late on Wednesday night.

Keep in mind that with the first snow falls, it’s our obligation to keep the curb area around the mailboxes, and where the trash & recycle bins go, cleared for access by these public vehicles. Please respect, when parking on the street, the need for your neighbors to have clearance or you can lose them their mail delivery and trash pickup.

The trustees will contact residents if on-street parking of multiple cars becomes an obstacle for public services, and of course all trailers, boats, or hitched vehicles must be garaged or on a village approved pad behind the residence.
