Scheduling items to be removed would need a prescheduling and prepayment made to have the items removed.

$27.11/bundle

What if I need my cart replaced? 

 

Carts that are broken due to damage incurred during the collection are reported by the driver for replacement at no charge. Residents are encouraged to contact LRS if they notice damage to the cart during the collection process to request a replacement cart.

 

If damage occurs to the cart due to other reasons, please contact LRS to request a replacement cart. 

 

Is this considered garbage?

 

Latex paint  

 

Latex paint is considered regular garbage, but it must be completely dried, with the lid off so the driver is able to see inside the can.

 

Dry latex paint by leaving lid off or open and/or mix kitty litter until the paint is completely absorbed. Do not place out for collection until the paint is completely dry. 

 

Alkaline batteries

 

  • Alkaline batteries are considered regular garbage and should be thrown into the garbage
