MORTON GROVE, IL, UNITED STATES, March 31, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ — Lakeshore Recycling Systems (LRS), the Midwest’s leading independent waste, recycling and portable services provider, today announced it has acquired Niles, Mich.-based Joy’s Johns, a leading provider of portable restroom services in the Michiana region.

LRS announced a series of recent strategic acquisitions bolstering its portable restroom presence throughout the greater Midwest, specifically: Big John in Northern and Western Illinois; and Crown Restrooms and Arrow Septic and Sewer in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin.
“The cornerstones of our success are shared by the companies we acquire – independent, respected, safety- and sustainability-focused, and dedicated to providing an exceptional customer experience,” said LRS Chief Executive Officer Alan T.
