Each home receives two carts, one for waste and one for recycling. There is no cost for the carts. Carts are available in the following size 96-gallon.

Garbage, recycling and yard waste shall be placed curbside the day of collection no later than 7 a.m. to ensure they are collected.

 

Waste Collection

Waste collection will be service on a weekly basis. On Monday and Friday from May through September and October through April on Monday only.

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

Bulk Items

Bulk items will be collected if each item is under 50 pounds and under 2 cubic yards. Bulk Item service will have to be scheduled with contractor. This is billed to the resident at time of service.

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.

Christmas Trees

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

Recycling Collection

LRS will provide residents with one recycling cart at no cost that will be collected every other week on the same day as your waste.
