Village of River Forest Refuse Collection Program

River Forest homes receive weekly refuse (garbage) collection which takes place as described below with options for the base (standard) program and special (unlimited) refuse collection. LRS accepts unlimited quantities of properly containerized and prepared recyclables each week. 

LRS, Roy Strom & Village of River Forest

For over 40 years, the River Forest community has received best-in-class refuse services from the Roy Strom Refuse Co. (Strom), family and staff. LRS is privileged to have acquired Strom in December of 2020 . Along with the dedicated Strom staff, now LRS, we’re honored to service River Forest.

 

LRS was founded on the principle of recycling, reusing and reducing waste. Today, LRS owns and operates state-of the-art recycling facilities throughout the US. LRS offers convenient and affordable sustainable service options as a gold-star domestic recycler. We are proud to keep the materials we collect from your home in America.

 

LRS is pleased to offer River Forest homes our premier program including more options to be sustainable such as food scrap composting and our home collection recycling services for electronics and household hazardous waste materials.

Monmouth

City of Monmouth Waste Collection Program

LRS is excited to become the City of Monmouth’s new residential waste hauler, starting on May 2, 2022. We have a great appreciation for the high standards Monmouth residents have when it comes to service, quality and value. We look forward to exceeding those expectations. LRS is a Midwest leader with a local operation established right here in Monmouth! Under the City’s new contract with LRS, residents will see a cost savings compared to other bidders along with enhanced services for the next seven years.

All Monmouth residents will be provided with one 95-gallon waste cart at no cost. This cart will be serviced on a weekly basis, and residents will have the option to swap out the 95-gallon cart with a 65-gallon or 35-gallon cart. LRS in partnership with the city will provide the first swap as a courtesy, but any additional swaps will incur a fee of $75.00.

All carts should be placed at the curbside no later than 6AM on your service day. LRS recommends that carts are placed out for service the night before. Although LRS strives to keep a consistent pick-up time, weather and staffing can alter pickup times.

All waste should be bagged and placed inside of the provided LRS cart with the lid closed to ensure safe collection and to help maintain a clean neighborhood appearance.

ADDITIONAL CARTS

Should you need additional cart capacity on a permanent basis, LRS will provide one at a cost of $3 per month, per cart. Please contact city hall to request an additional cart.

For trash that does not fit in the cart, LRS will provide service as needed, scheduled at an agreed upon per-yard basis billed from LRS directly to the resident. In addition, collection stickers may be placed on extra bags of trash outside the cart. These stickers can be purchased for $2.00 each

If a single item is too large to fit in a cart then it is considered a bulky item. LRS will accept one bulky item on the 3rd week of the month for no additional charge. The bulky item will be collected on your regular scheduled trash day. If the item is heavier than 50lbs please contact LRS to schedule the collection with our customer experience team so they can provide adequate equipment to handle the item safely. Additional bulk items must be scheduled with LRS for a charge of $10.00 per item.

LRS will provide collection of major appliances, including but not limited to ovens and refrigerators. LRS will accept one white good per month for no additional charge, but the item must be scheduled with LRS in advance. Additional white goods may be scheduled with LRS for an additional charge of $25.00 per item.Residents may either email us at Monmouth@LRSrecycles.com or call 309-586-4410 to schedule additional collections.

Unincorporated Lake County residents in MORAINE, WEST DEERFIELD, VERNON, CUBA, WAUCONDA & LIBERTYVILLE TOWNSHIP will be provided with one waste and one recycling cart at no cost. These carts will be serviced on a weekly basis, and residents will have the option to choose either a 95-gallon (standard size), 65-gallon or 35-gallon cart to use for both. Extra garbage bags that won’t fit into your cart should be placed next to your cart for curbside collection.

All carts should be placed at curbside no later than 7AM on your designated service day.

 

Bulk items are items that are too large to fit into your waste cart, and weigh less than 50lbs. Residents will be allowed to put out one bulk item per week curbside at no additional charge for removal. Beyond this, a sticker will need to be affixed to each item. Carpet rolls may be no longer than 4 feet and 18 inches in diameter and mattresses or box springs must be wrapped in plastic. If an item is too large or heavy, special collection arrangements may need to be made, and additional charges may apply.

Recycling Collection

LRS is one of the country’s leading providers of waste and recycling services. As is the case with your waste service, LRS will provide Unincorporated Lake County residents with one recycling cart at no cost. Sizes are 95-gallon, 65-gallon or 35-gallon. This cart will be serviced on a weekly basis on the same day as your waste service.

All carts should be placed at curbside no later than 7AM on your designated service day.

A list of acceptable and unacceptable items is included below, and will also be heat-stamped onto each recycling cart lid. Residents may place out as many recyclable items as they wish each week for collection. Though plastic bags are not accepted, residents may mix recyclables loose in the cart or place them in brown paper bags. Recyclable materials that won’t fit into your recycling cart may also be placed at the side of the cart. We do ask that larger or bulky boxes be broken down before collection.

Residents may use and place out their own 35-gallon or smaller cans with yard waste, or brown kraft bags. User-owned cans should be clearly marked as “YW,” and may not weigh more than 50lbs (this weight limit also applies to kraft paper bags). Bundles of twigs sticks and branches may not exceed 4 feet in length and 18 inches in diameter. For our sticker program, one sticker would be required on each can, bag or bundled pile and our subscription program allows for pickup of up to 6 bags, cans or piles per week for an annual flat rate.

As part of Lake County’s new contract with LRS, residents may place organic material and food waste with the yard waste they set out for collection. Nearly 20% of all food waste ends up in landfills, so we encourage participation. There is more information on which types of food and organic material is acceptable on the below downloadable flyer.

Your yard waste service day will be on the same day as your waste and recycling.

In accordance with the Lake County website https://clean-air-lakecountyil.hub.arcgis.com/ , many of Lake County’s municipalities had already banned or restricted open burning to protect the health, safety and welfare of their residents. Regionally, Lake County had been the only county in the Chicago metro area without restrictions on burning yard waste throughout its unincorporated areas prior to the ordinance being passed in January 2022. Important aspects of Lake County’s open burning restrictions are:

  • Burning non-woody yard waste, such as leaves and grass, is prohibited.
  • Burning woody yard waste is allowed annually between Nov. 1 – March 31. Woody yard waste generally consists of sticks, branches and tree limbs.
  • Recreational wood-burning fires that are no larger than 3’ x 3’ x 3’ if used for warming, cooking, and other recreational purposes are permitted year-round. www.clean-air-lakecountyil.hub.arcgis.com

LRS will provide a free collection of Christmas trees annually from January 2nd through the 25th. There will be a limit of one tree per home, and only live Christmas trees will be accepted curbside for collection. Trees must be organic, and free of any tinsel, garland or ornaments. Please do not place trees in plastic bags. We kindly ask for any trees over 6 feet in length to please be cut in half to ensure a safe pickup.

Some appliances require special handling as they may contain harmful chemicals or they need to be recycled at a special location. Upon request, LRS will provide a collection of these major appliances. Residents simply need to call 844-633-3577  to schedule and pay for a white good appliance collection.

EXAMPLES OF WHITE GOODS OR APPLIANCES:

Waste Collection Guidelines

All Maywood residents will be provided with one 95-gallon waste cart and one 65-gallon recycling cart. These carts will be serviced on a weekly basis. All carts should be placed out for collection no later than 6AM on your service day. LRS recommends that carts are placed out for service the night before. Although LRS strives to keep a consistent pick-up time, weather and staffing can alter pickup times. All waste should be bagged and placed inside of the provided LRS cart with the lid closed to ensure safe collection and to help maintain a clean neighborhood appearance Should you need additional cart capacity on a permanent basis, LRS will provide one at a cost of $3 per month, per cart. Please contact us directly at Service@LRSrecycles.com or 844-633-3577 if you’d like to request an additional cart.

 

Excess Garbage

For trash that does not fit in the cart, LRS will collect unlimited bagged household waste. Guidelines: 50 pounds or less, containers must be 35-gallons or less.

Bulk Item

If a single item is too large to fit in a cart then it is considered a bulk item. LRS will accept two bulk items per week for no additional charge. The bulk item will be collected on your regular scheduled trash day. If the item is heavier than 50lbs please contact LRS to schedule the collection with our customer experience team so they can provide adequate equipment to handle the item safely.

Mattress Disposal

While not required, it is suggested a mattress to be wrapped in some type of plastic for the safety of our drivers and to protect the item from the weather. Plastic packing wrap, a dollar store tablecloth, a mattress disposal bag or even trash bags that have been cut up and taped around the item would all be acceptable options for pickup on an upcoming service day.

White Goods

LRS will provide collection of major appliances, including but not limited to ovens and refrigerators. LRS will accept white goods for collection at no additional charge, but the item must be scheduled with LRS in advance. Residents may either email us at Service@LRSrecycles.com, or call 844-633-3577 to schedule collections.

 

New Recycling Program

LRS is proud to announce a new recycling program that will deliver the best in class recycling program to the residents of Maywood. Each resident will receive one 65-gallon recycling cart service weekly. This will replace the existing can or tub. Recycling guideline instructions will be on the lid of your new recycling cart. Please ensure recycling items are NOT BAGGED and placed LOOSE into the cart. NO PLASTIC BAGS are allowed in the recycling cart.

If using your own container for additional waste, it must have two handles and not exceed 35-gallons or 50 pounds when full, for safety reasons. If an item or items are not safe or acceptable for the driver to manage, they may be left behind with a sticker providing an explanation.

Loose trash or loose piles of trash will not be collected. Standard loose (13 to 30 gallons) garbage bags will be accepted so long as they are less than 50 lbs. We encourage the use of containers to prevent unwanted varmints and loose trash from blowing.

What Is Recyclable & What Is Not Recyclable?

Not all recyclable materials are necessarily recyclable with the curbside collection. Recyclable materials collected with the curbside program are taken to a material recovery facility with equipment designed to handle certain materials. Plastic grocery bags and shredded paper, for example, will damage the equipment used to sort materials. Feel free to call our customer service if you ever have questions about recycling. We are a recycling company and happy to help!

Village of Schaumburg Waste & Recycling
Waste Management Services

Waste Collection

Waste collection will continue on a weekly basis. Schaumburg and LRS will continue to allow residents to use additional personal receptacles in addition to their LRS cart.

In addition to curbside waste collection, LRS offers a variety of other waste services.

Bulk Items / Excess Garbage

LRS will take 2 cubic yards of additional waste that is not able to fit into your cart as long as it is within Illinois landfill regulations and it is safe to handle by the driver(s). Up to 2 bulk items will be collected as long as each item is under 50 pounds and under 2 cubic yards.

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

If you are looking to dispose of a toilet, we do ask, for safety of the team due to the weight, for the item to please be separated (i.e. the bowl and the tank pulled apart in two parts).

For items that do not fit the above criteria, LRS will provide service as needed, scheduled at an agreed upon per-yard basis. This service will be upon request, and billed separately.

White Goods

Upon request, LRS will provide collection of major appliances, including but not limited to ovens and refrigerators.

Residents simply need to call LRS and speak to a representative who will set up a date to collect the item, and provide a quote for removal. This will be billed separately.

Christmas Trees

LRS will provide curbside collection of Christmas trees for the month of January at no charge. Only live trees (not in bags) free of any tinsel, lights or ornaments will be accepted.

Additional Cart(s)

Additional waste carts are available for a small monthly rental fee. Please contact LRS to do so.

LRS will provide residents with one recycling cart at no cost that will be collected weekly on the same day as your waste. Residents may place out as many recyclable items as they wish each week for collection. Recyclable material that won’t fit in recycling carts may be placed at the side of the cart. Larger or bulky boxes must be broken down before collection.

Additional recycling carts are available for a small monthly fee. Please contact LRS to do so.
