Please follow these guidelines for wood waste :

These are the exact same guidelines in place for the previous Wood Waste Recycling Center at Boys Home Park.
Site closed at Boys Home Park
In March 2024, South Fayette Township closed the previous Wood Waste Recycling Center at Boys Home Park due to unregulated and unauthorized dumping, along with associated environmental and safety concerns. The township replaced this facility with the managed dumpster system at the Public Works facility on Millers Run Road.
