Waste Hauling changes to LRS May 1, 2025

Effective May 1st, 2025, LRS will provide garbage, recycling, yard waste services for Unincorporated Lake Villa Township residents. Lake Villa Township is changing its waste hauler provider, ending a contract with Waste Management on April 30th. Lake Villa Township joined the Village of Lake Villa to solicit bids for waste hauling. The Township received sealed bids from Waste Connections, Inc. (Groot), Waste Management of Illinois Inc. and Lakeshore Recycling Systems, LLC. (LRS).

LRS won the current contract with a final bid of $26.52 for a 95-gallon container and $25.52 for a 65-gallon container. The new rate is more than 40% lower than the bid turned in by Waste Management and 11% lower than the bid turned in by Groot. However, the new contract from LRS is $3 higher than the current Waste Management contract in place.

The new Township contract, that will run through April 30, 2030, allowed the Township to add some additional services in the future as needed. “In the face of rising labor contracts and disposal costs, the Township is pleased to have secured a favorable price through April 2030,” Supervisor Dan Venturi said. “We look forward to our partnership with LRS to provide reliable and cost-effective waste management services to the community.”
