Village of Hinckley Residential Refuse, Recycling and Yard Waste Services

Beginning October 1, 2018, Lakeshore Recycling Systems (LRS) will be providing the refuse (garbage), recycling and yard waste services for the Village of Hinckley residents. LRS is a privately owned company headquartered in Morton Grove, IL. The Hinckley residents will be serviced out of the Cortland, IL facility formerly known as DC Trash.

Hinckley residents can expect to receive improved service options for less and a very high level of service with a hometown touch from the LRS staff.

LRS is looking forward to being a part of the Hinckley community! LRS has a system in place to assist residents and ensure a smooth transition of service.

All residents are automatically set to receive a 95-gallon garbage cart and 65-gallon recycle cart. All cart exchange requests submitted as of 9/10 are going to be fulfilled AFTER October 1st. We will work as quickly as possible to fulfill requests. Residents who submit requests and are delivered the default cart sizes should use them if they are not exchanged before the first day of collection, Monday October 1st.

The physical transition of services will begin in late September. Residents will see new refuse and recycling carts delivered to their homes.

The Village of Hinckley is hosting LRS at the west side of the parking lot of the village hall for an Electronics and Household Hazardous Waste Recycling event. The event will be on Saturday, October 27 from 8:00am – 12:00pm. Find additional information here.

Leaves must be bagged.
