LRS operates a regional waste and recycling business across seven Midwest states with nearly 2,300 employees and over 70 facilities. The tech stack is heavily HR and payroll-focused (ADP, Paylocity, Paycom, Workday, Gusto, Paychex dominate), reflecting the operational reality of managing a large field workforce. Active hiring concentrates in operations roles, while pain-point data reveals persistent route optimization and facility efficiency challenges — areas where process automation projects are underway to address workflow inefficiencies and cost control.
