Schaumburg to change garbage haulers in May

Schaumburg village trustees have approved a 5-year contract to make Lakeshore Recycling Systems (LRS) the village's new garbage and recycling hauler.

The decision to change haulers was driven by costs after a competitive bid process. LRS will continue to provide the same refuse collection and customer service that residents experience today.

Beginning in May, LRS will take over the weekly collection of trash, recycling and yard waste at residential properties.

There will be impacts to collection days as LRS plans to operate on a new five-day service day schedule. LRS will contact residents with more details about their scheduled collection day and cart change-out information.
