      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      After moving to the area I have been paying for LRS waste, recycling, and yard waste weekly pickups since 5/4. I specifically purchased the annual yard waste subscription on 5/14. Since that time LRS has neglected to pickup my yard waste every single week. Over that time I have called over 20 times and spoke with multiple individuals to report this missed picked up every week. I have spoked with 10+ individuals, and they have confirmed I have paid for the service and say that the pickup will be made but it never is. I now have rotting yard waste bags in my driveway that have been sitting for a week despite daily calls to LRS. This is now causing issues with my neighbors which as a new resident is not the way you want to start off in a neighborhood. All I am asking is that LRS provide they service that I have paid them for. Given my calls, emails, and requests for escalation to sr. ********** have all been ignored I don't know how else to get this resolved.

      LRS makes you pay in advance and does not include a 'invoice due date'. You have to keep track of when the payment is due. This is totally opposite from Waste Management's policy. Unfortunately, according to the the Village of ******, they knew about the invoicing policy and did not care when they changed from Waste Management to LRS.

      Oh no! Let's find out what happened with your invoice. Can you email your complete service address and how our team can assist you to *********************** so one of our representatives can pull your recent invoice and highlight where the due date is for you. Thanks!
