Yard Waste Disposal Sites 
Since 1993, Shamrock Township has maintained two yard waste disposal sites for use by township residents and property owners. Residents may drop off any yard waste with branch sizes up to four inch in diameter; no trees are accepted at the site. Additionally, compost and free wood chips are available for pick up for residential use; they are not intended for commercial/resale.

Mattresses, Garbage, Concrete Blocks and Tires all dumped at the leaf site off of County Road 6 over the October 28-29 weekend. These kinds of activities will get the leaf sites shut down permanently

Yard Waste Hours of Operations
