Hearings end for WestChicago waste transfer station, placing debate in the hands of city council
The last of seven sessions featured public comments on a plan from Lakeshore Recycling Systems officials to expand operations at their 28-acre parcel at 1655 Powis Road by adding the city's -- and DuPage County's -- second station.
After Kathy Leski, a 10-year West Chicago resident, opened Thursday's hearing by expressing her opposition to the new station, six LRS employees talked about the benefits of the facility expansion. Leski refuted claims from LRS officials, including on the environmental effects, truck traffic to and from the facility, and operations within the complex.
Among the speakers supporting the proposal was George Strom, a fourth-generation waste employee who worked for Roy Strom before it was sold to LRS. Now a vice president at LRS, Strom said the competitive landscape -- where Waste Connections and Waste Management dominate the market -- makes it critical for LRS to win approval for the transfer station.
