Refuse/Recycling Information

Pick-up Schedule

Please review the 2024 Refuse & Recycling Calendar and Service Area Map. The dates for trash and recycling will be Tuesday and Friday.

Collection Program Guidelines
 

  • Refuse and recycling must be curbside by 6:00 am on your designated collection day.
  • All refuse/recycling materials must be INSIDE of the carts, waste or bags outside of the carts will not be taken.
  • On holiday weeks we operate on a one-day delay.
  • Carts remain the property of LRS.  Residents will be required to pay for replacement carts if damages are due to negligence or abuse.
  • Please do not take the containers if you move.  You may label the containers with tape or a removable decal but do not write on or deface in any other way.

Recycling:

Your recycling cart will be serviced bi-weekly (every other week) based on the calendar/schedule.  The following items are banned from Wisconsin landfills and as a result should be placed in your recycling cart for proper processing, handling, and/or reuse:

  • Aluminum containers
  • Bi-metal containers (i.e. containers made from a combination of steel and aluminum)
  • Corrugated cardboard (all corrugated cardboard cut into pieces no larger than 3' x 3')
  • Glass containers
  • Magazines and other materials printed on similar paper
  • Newspaper and other materials printed on newsprint
  • Mixed paper
  • Plastic containers #1 - #7 - milk jugs, laundry detergent bottles, soda and water bottles, etc.
  • Steel containers (tin cans)

Refuse (trash, waste, garbage):

Your refuse cart will be serviced every week based on the calendar/schedule. Solid waste is what most of us think of as "trash", "refuse", or "garbage" that is produced at home, work or leisure.  This catergory does NOT include any of the recyclable items listed above, any household hazardous waste, liquid latex paint, yard waste, appliances or electronics.

Important Note:

The following items are not allowed and will not be handled by LRS for curbside pickup:

  • Hazardous goods not allowed
  • Yard waste not allowed (grass clippings, leaves, branches, soil, etc)

Contact LRS by calling (608) 580-0580 or via email at bltownservice@lrsrecycles.com. with any questions.
