CAPTAIN CURBY IS MISSING!
Captain Curby, Granger’s beloved mascot, has been a part of our story for decades. It all started in 1983 when Granger introduced rolling trash carts to the Lansing area. Then, in 1996, Curby came to life in mascot form—bringing smiles, high-fives and joy to countless community events ever since.
In late 2025, Curby made several appearances at local Christmas parades and has not been seen since. Granger just isn’t the same without Curby, and we’re determined to bring him home.
