Employees with Lakeshore Recycling Services distribute garbage and recycable containers to homes along Chartres Street on Monday, Jan. 23, 2023 in La Salle. The rate will go from $14.50 per month to $20 per month with LRS. LRS is based out of Chicago, but it has a branch in Monmouth where La Salle residents will get their service.

A new garbage hauler and recycling service will start in January in Granville.

LRS, which provides garbage hauling and recycling services to La Salle, will replace Waste Management.

Waste Management will continue to be the village’s provider through the end of the year. The company will be picking up its containers Dec. 29 through Jan. 5. Containers will need to be set at the curb during this time.

Residents will be receiving postcards from LRS. Contact LRS to request a 65-gallon waste container before Dec. 5, or the default will be a 95-gallon waste container. The recycling container will be 65 gallons.

The service day will change to Friday, with the first trash and recycling service day coming Saturday, Jan. 6. Service will be delayed one day because of the holiday.

LRS only will service LRS-supplied containers. An additional container can be rented for $5 a month by contacting the company.

Trash will be serviced weekly, and recycling will be collected biweekly. For pickup, containers must be placed curbside by 6 a.m. One bulk item is allowed per week (excess trash is not included). In the event of extra waste, call 309-588-4410, as additional service fees may apply. For information, email monmouth@lrsrecycles.com.

“This was a very difficult decision for the board to make. We have always been happy with WM‘s service but feel this change was in the best interest of our residents and have confidence LRS will provide exceptional service to you all,” the village said in a Facebook post. “Please be patient as we roll out WM and roll in LRS.”
