With warmer weather arriving and schools out for summer break, Schaumburg residents are reminded to avoid blocking on-street bike lanes and roadways when placing their garbage carts out for collection. Carts should be set at the curb, specifically on the driveway apron in the parkway—not in the street—by 7 a.m. on your regular collection day. Carts may be set out as early as 6 p.m. the evening before, now through Sept. 30.
When setting out your cart, make sure the handles face your property and the lid opens toward the street. Arrows on the lid indicate the correct direction to help ensure LRS trucks can easily pick up the cart.
For information on how to dispose of bulk items, establish an appointment for the collection of white goods, and other information related to garbage and recycling collection, visit the website, view the Residential Garbage & Recycling Information brochure, or contact LRS directly at (844) 633-3577.
