Serving Chicagoland since 1999, and headquartered in Morton Grove, Ill., Lakeshore Recycling Systems is Chicago’s leading recycling and waste diversion services provider. LRS was born in 2012 by way of merger between two of Chicago’s strongest waste recycling companies: Lakeshore Waste Services (LWS; founded in 2003) and Recycling Systems, Inc. (RSI; founded in 1999).

LRS provides recycling and industry-leading waste diversion programs, affordable roll-off container services and comprehensive waste removal to businesses and residential homeowners. LRS operates a growing fleet of natural gas-powered trucks and is run successfully each day by more than 400 dedicated full-time employees.
