Christmas Trees  

Christmas trees are collected for no charge from January 2nd through January 25th. We will gladly collect your non-artificial Christmas trees as organic material – free of any tinsel, ornaments or lights. Trees can be left loose (never in bags) in the area where you receive regular service for trash and recycling. Due to snow and ice, trees may not always be picked up on your service day as our drivers and trucks will be in the township all month for pickups. If you require collection after January 25th, prepayment and prescheduling is required.

For the final six (6) weeks of the yard waste season, LRS will provide leaf collection services to Shields Township residents. Residents who elect to participate in the leaf collection program are allowed up to six (6) bags or bundles of branches at no charge. One (1) sticker is required for each additional bag or bundle placed out for collection.

“Bulk items” are items that are too large to fit into an LRS cart or container. LRS will collect one bulk item per week at no charge. Any additional items requested to be serviced on the same day must be prescheduled and prepaid to LRS. If a bulk item is deemed hazardous or unacceptable for landfills, that item will not be taken.

 

Examples of a bulk or large item exceeding the capacity of the LRS garbage cart includes the following: bed frame, box spring (bed), bicycle, chair, love seat/sofa, one part of a sectional couch, mattress, frame, or wall picture. These are only some examples as there are many items that may be considered bulk items.

 

For health and safety reasons, mattresses must be wrapped in plastic to be collected. Plastic mattress wrap can be found online or at local grocery stores, hardware stores, and storage/moving outlets. If using loose plastic, it must be completely taped and secured on all corners with no exposure to the mattress.

 

Bulk items requiring special equipment and additional labor, such as a piano, sleeper sofa (couch with pull out bed) and large entertainment center are considered a Special Refuse Collection. Call LRS if you are unsure if an item requires additional labor or equipment at 844.633.3577 or send a request with a photo of the item(s) by email to Service@LRSrecycles.com.

Electronic Waste (E-Waste or E-Scrap) is banned from the landfill (cannot go in the regular garbage).

LRS provides annual home collection of E-Waste for Shields Township residents that have LRS waste and recycling collection. This service provides a more convenient way to responsibly manage electronics that are banned from the landfill. There is no charge for this service, although prescheduling is required.

Any garbage placed outside the container will need to be trimmed, cut and tied securely in bundles not exceeding 3 feet in length, 2 inches in diameter and not exceeding 65lbs.
