Lakeshore Recycling Systems acquires Niles, Michigan-based portable restroom provider, Joy's Johns
Founded in 1945, Joy’s Johns has served as a ubiquitous and respected provider of portable restroom rentals2 and servicing, growing steadily over the decades as the Michiana region continues to thrive.

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. Handley3. “We extend a warm welcome to Joy’s Johns employees and customers as they join the growing LRS family, and are thrilled to start the new year competing in the vibrant Northwest Indiana and Southwest Michigan market.”
