Due to the heavy snow Jan. 12, LRS postponed its garbage and recycling operations mid-way through its Friday service route. As a result, some Geneva residents did not receive garbage/recycling pickup along with live Christmas tree collection.
LRS informed the City they could not complete the routes Jan. 13, and garbage and recycling carts should be brought in from the curb. LRS is advising residents who did not receive their typical service to hold onto their garbage, recycling and live Christmas trees until their next scheduled pickup day on Friday, Jan. 19.
Extra garbage bags will be removed without any refuse stickers Jan. 19 for Friday customers only. Free Christmas tree pickup also will be provided to Friday customers only next week.
Geneva residents who have Thursday service should continue to use refuse stickers as normal the week of Jan. 15, including on the disposal of live Christmas trees.
The City of Geneva apologizes for the disruption in service and inconvenience it caused residents. Questions can be directed to LRS customer service by calling 844-633-3577.
City offices will be closed Monday, Jan. 15 in honor of the MLK Day holiday. Normal business hours will resume Tuesday, Jan. 16. Garbage collection will occur on the City’s regular Thursday-Friday schedule the week of Jan. 15.
