Garbage and Recycling Collection

Lakeshore Recycling Systems (LRS) is the Village's contractor for waste collection services including garbage, recycling, and yard waste and operates under a franchise hauling agreement.

In conjunction with LRS and SWALCO (Solid Waste Agency of Lake County), the Village offers a variety of disposal and recycling programs in order to meet residents needs.

Please note: Unincorporated residents defined by street numbers with 5 digits and residents who pay their homeowners association directly for waste collection services are not part of the Village of Gurnee's waste hauling contract. Regarding services, unincorporated residents should contact the Warren Township at 847-244-1101, and residents who pay their HOA for waste collection services should reach out to their property manager or HOA.

If residents are having issues with garbage or recycling collection, they should contact Lakeshore Recycling Systems by calling 844-633-3577 or by logging into their LRS account at www.lrsrecycles.com.
