Residents who are part of the Village's waste collection contract can now share the cost of a Curbside Compost Cart with their neighbor.

With the goal of decreasing the amount of organic waste sent to landfills, the Village of River Forest and Lakeshore Recycling Systems (LRS) offer a yard waste and food scrap compost program to residents. This program now allows for two households to share one cart and split the monthly cost of the cart.

To sign up, residents can fill out the Bin Sharing information under Composting on the Village's Service Request Form. Once both households have completed the form, the subscription fee will be divided between the neighbors and reflected on the next month's water and refuse bill.

Further information on the Curbside Composting Program can be found here.
