Changes for City of Aledo residents and businesses this year involving municipal waste services.
LRS, formerly Jackson Disposal, will be proceeding to an automated pick-up service says City Administrator Mike Chausse.
Beginning this week, LRS will deliver new garbage carts to customers who don’t already have LRS or Jackson-provided trash carts. The new carts will be delivered at no charge to customers.
Effective February 4, LRS will no longer service personal garbage cans or containers. All trash and recycling items must be placed inside the LRS-provided cart.
Aledo residents will see a change in the cost of their trash service and will no longer be required to pay a rental fee for their LRS carts. The new monthly rate will be $17.95. LRS customers will see this updated amount in their February utility billing notices.
There are no changes to the recycling collection service; customers should continue to use their current recycling bin or cart for recycling pick-up.
Customers will continue to receive service on their regularly scheduled collection days based on address. Addresses north of Illinois Highway 17 receive trash and recycling service on Wednesdays; addresses south of Illinois Highway 17 receive recycling service on Wednesdays and trash service on Thursdays.
