Dear Residents,
Trash and Recycling will be picked up only Thursdays for the remainder of the month of June by Waste Management at no charge to the Association.
New LRS bins will be delivered on June 28. Bins will be in front of your garage.
Background info about the change
Due to the Village of Gurnee switching to LRS, Waste Management will not honor contracts in Gurnee. Our property management company and the board were not notified of this change. The Board of Directors will be executing a contract with Lakeshore Recycling Service (LRS). To have the new service start in July we need to place an order for the required trash and recycling bins for the homeowners as soon as possible. Since this switch was not optional and not expected, the Board of Directors wants to make sure that the homeowners have a choice in the size of the bin they need for their units. We know space is tight inside the garages, but the automated service provided by LRS requires each unit to have one of their dedicated bins for both trash and recycling.
LRS will not be taking bagged trash or any personal bins. All the bins are required to be LRS branded containers. Large item pick up will need to be scheduled with LRS and billed to the homeowner.
We have selected the 35-gallon recycling bin, and the 64-gallon trash bin as the default contract standard for all units at no charge. There are three sizes to choose from.
35 gallon container 37.5 inches high, 19 inches wide it holds three 13 gallon trash bags.
64 gallon container 44 inches high, 22 inches wide it holds six 13 gallon trash bags.
96 gallon container 46 inches high, 23 inches wide it holds ten 13 gallon trash bags.
Something to think about is that Garbage and recycling will only be once a week starting in July.
We want to give ALL the owners an opportunity to get the bin sizes that meet their individual needs. If you do not pick a size the 35-gallon recycling bin and the 64-gallon trash bin will be delivered to your address.
They do not need to be the same, you can mix and match sizes, but each unit is required to get a recycling and a trash bin. Please keep in mind that bins are not allowed to be stored outside. They must be stored in your garage.
Thank you,
The Board of Directors
