Lakeshore Recycling Systems rebrands acquired business

Lakeshore Recycling Systems (LRS), based in Morton Grove, Illinois, plans to rebrand DC Trash of Illinois to DeKalb County Recycling Systems.

According to an LRS report, LRS acquired the Cortland, Illinois-based company in November 2017. This was the company’s sixth acquisition of a Chicago-area independent waste and recycling company. DeKalb County Recycling Systems serves as a waste and recycling collection provider for about 30,000 customers in Chicago’s western suburbs.  

LRS says rebranding DC Trash of Illinois to DeKalb County Recycling Systems reflects the company’s roots in DeKalb County, Illinois, as well as LRS’ commitment to waste diversion, recycling and environmental sustainability. LRS plans to place rebranded logos on DeKalb County Recycling Systems’ trucks, uniforms and customer containers.

“The rebranding of DC Trash to DeKalb County Recycling Systems perfectly aligns what we do with who we serve,” says Lakeshore Recycling Systems CEO Alan T. Handley. “We remain incredibly proud of our dedicated Cortland employees for their hard work and dedication to all the DeKalb county communities that they service each day.”
