Core Value: Safety

Leading Through Safety

At LRS, we’re setting industry standards for safety, prioritizing the health & well-being of team members and strictly following best practices for safety in the communities we serve.

A Commitment To Protection

We’ve taken the lead in building a lasting culture of safety and awareness.

Safety First. Always.

With its heavy machinery, large vehicles, and physical activity, the waste & recycling industry can be a dangerous one. That’s why In 2017, we created the Live Safety philosophy to not only educate others on the importance of safety, but also encourage a lifestyle change for everyone who encounters the message. Because we believe safety is more than just a priority; it is a value.

It’s In Everything We Do

Our culture of safety goes far beyond a slogan. From our technology, with video recording in every truck, to our approach to data analytics, scouring the trends and reviewing each task to reduce and eliminate hazards. Safety is embedded in the LRS culture.
