LRS provides single-stream recycling services, which means most clean and non-contaminated household items will be considered recyclable. Residents may leave out as much accepted recycling items as they wish each week for collection. Overflow recycling materials do not need to be in a container, but large cardboard boxes must be broken down before collection.
While there is no additional charge for recycling, your quarterly LRS bill is based on the garbage service level you select. See the LRS Service Rates/Billing page for more information.
See below for a list of acceptable and unacceptable recyclable items. Learn more guidelines on proper recycling steps at the Solid Waste Agency of Lake County (SWALCO) website.
