Waste Recycling & Disposal
Yard Waste
The Township gives residents the opportunity to dispose of brush by opening the Service Department for drop-off on four Saturdays each year (2 in the spring and 2 in the fall. Please see either the Homepage or Service Dept. link for exact dates and times). The Service Department is located at the rear of the south entrance onto Township property at 7229 Ravenna Road. The following guidelines for brush disposal must be followed:
Brush ONLY, NO leaves
Brush MUST be bundled and tied
Tree limbs are accepted up to 4 inches in diameter
Brush is mulched and available for residents to pick up for home or garden use. (NOTE: Fresh mulch must be "seasoned" for about a year before it can be spread onto flower beds. The acidity level in fresh mulch may damage your plants.) You must have your own vehicle and method for loading it.

Leaf Disposal
The Township contracts for a once a year leaf pick-up in which the following guidelines should be followed:
Leaves ONLY, NO brush, NO tree limbs
Bags must be multi-ply, biodegradable, ABSOLUTELY NO PLASTIC
Truck will make one pass ONLY, it will not make returns for residents who don't have their bags out on the day they make their pass. The week of pick-up will be determined early fall.

Recycling
Concord has two recycling drop off sites:
Town Hall- Between Buildings "B" and "C"
Concord Hills Parks- Hoose Rd.
The drop-off sites have 20-yard, enclosed containers with sliding doors (known as doghouse-style containers). These containers are better suited to accommodate the volume of recyclables. The recyclables will not need to be separated by product type. However, as before, please break down large boxes before disposing of them to conserve space and as a consideration to other Township residents. The contractor, Waste Management, has quite a sophisticated technology for separating the material.
