In a service that began October 1, 2018, Lakeshore Recycling Systems (LRS) provides 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 are serviced out of the Cortland, IL facility formerly known as DC Trash.
What is Not Changing?

Monday is the service day. All garbage, recycling and yard waste will be collected between the times of 7AM and 6PM on your collection day.
Every resident will be delivered a garbage and recycle cart on wheels, with a hinged lid and a handle bar. The LRS carts are to be used going forward.
All residents have the option to choose a 35, 65 or 95-gallon garbage cart.
Residents will automatically be delivered a 95-gallon garbage cart, by default, unless different cart sizes are selected. See Cart Selection Information if you’d like a different size.
There is no limit to the amount of garbage LRS will collect. Residents may use a non-LRS cart or container for waste or recycling materials that do not fit into the LRS issued cart so long as it does not exceed 35 gallons, 50 lbs. and has two handles.
Please note: garbage mixed with yard waste, leaves or organic material will not be collected, as this material is not permitted in State of Illinois Landfills.
Residents may request an additional 95-gallon garbage cart for $5.00 per month.
All residents have the option to choose between a 35, 65 or 95-gallon recycle cart.
Residents will automatically be delivered a 65-gallon recycle cart, by default, unless different cart sizes are selected. See Cart Selection Information if you would like a different size.
Residents who generate more recyclables, may request one (1) additional 95 gallon recycle cart at no charge. Residents may use a non-LRS cart or container for waste or recycling materials that do not fit into the LRS issued cart, so long as it does not exceed 35 gallons, 50 lbs. and has two handles.
Recycling needs to be properly prepared in accordance with the recycling guideline. All food-based recyclable containers should be rinsed. Plastic bags are not recyclable, and should not be placed in recycling carts. Click here for an LRS Recycle Guide.
Yard waste is considered grass or shrubbery cuttings, leaves, tree limbs, and other materials accumulated as a result of the care of lawns, shrubbery and vines.
Yard Waste season begins April 1 through November 15 each year. Yard waste collection is unlimited so long as it’s properly prepared. Yard waste can be placed in 2 ply, biodegradable paper bags, or containers not exceeding 35 gallons and marked clearly with a large “X” or the yard waste carts provided by the LRS for $5.00 per month or brush bundles tied in biodegradable twine not exceeding 4’ length, 2’ width and 50 lbs. Leaves must be bagged.
All Village residents will be billed for waste service each quarter direct from LRS. Basic service includes garbage, recycling and yard-waste service.
Residents may opt to receive paperless invoicing by registering online. Click here to register for paperless invoicing.
“Bulk Items” are items that are too large to fit into a cart or can. LRS will collect one bulk item per week at no charge. Carpet rolls must be no longer than 4’ in length, and 18” in diameter. If a bulk item is deemed hazardous, unacceptable for landfills or weighs more than 50lbs, that item will not be taken. Please schedule a special pickup with LRS for these types of items.
“White Goods,” are appliances containing CFC, HCFC, PCBs, mercury switches or other hazardous components (refrigerators, air conditioners, humidifiers, etc.). Standard appliances will be picked up for $35.00 each. Appliances are collected separately by a box truck.
To schedule an appliance pick-up, please contact LRS at 815.770.7550.
Home remodeling waste that includes, but is not limited to drywall, plywood, paneling, lumber, doors, windows, cabinets, porcelain fixtures, sod, fencing, concrete or rocks will require special pickups. Residents will need to schedule service for these items and call to receive instructions on how to best prepare them for collection. Estimates will be provided and items will be charged by the yard.
