Waste Services
Lakeshore Recycling Systems is the exclusive waste and recycling hauler for thousands of homes and businesses throughout Chicagoland.
As the waste and recycling field develops, now more than ever, it is important to reconsider what can and can’t be recycled. Whether you are a homeowner, renter or a business owner, Lakeshore Recycling Systems will do what we can to spread recycling awareness and educate the community on recycling best practices. Our goal is to continuously find ways to reduce the amount of garbage produced and increase the amount of items to be recycled.
Lakeshore Recycling Systems has championed single-stream recycling in the Midwest. Having opened Chicagoland’s newest and most innovating single-stream recycling center, Heartland Recycling, we focus on recycling and waste diversion. By forgoing the decision to own or operate a landfill, we are committed to improving recycling practices and increasing diversion rates. Our cutting-edge recycling center harvests over 110,000 tons of high-grade residential and commercial single-stream recyclables, and sorts, separates and allocates over 20 tons of waste per hour.
Through an all-encompassing organics collection, Lakeshore Recycling Systems provides innovative and environmentally responsible waste and recycling solutions. With organics collection, we collect food scrap and landscape materials to be reused into soil, fertilizer and other beneficial items. By composting, your business could reduce the container size and/or pickup frequency, which helps to lower garbage collection costs.
Lakeshore Recycling Systems has the experience and equipment to work with you on all of your roll-off needs, from large construction projects, to an office overhaul, to a smaller household bathroom renovation.
At some point, we understand that you may have large items that need to be thrown out – for example; couches, appliances, treadmills, etc. Please call one of our Customer Service Representatives to schedule a pickup of bulk items.
