Henschen began his 20-year waste industry career as a driver and worked his way up to his most recent position as Midwest Area Director of Operations for Republic Services, Inc.
“As LRS continues to expand its Midwest presence, it’s critical we hire extremely qualified executives like Aric to lead and assist in growing our collection operations,” said LRS Chief Executive Officer Alan T. Handley. “We welcome Aric to the team, and believe his impeccable background will support our operations team on the collections side of the business.”
“The Vice President of Operations is a key role to ensure the right processes and procedures are implemented safely, accurately and efficiently,” said LRS Executive Vice President of Collection Operations John Larsen. “I look forward to having Aric on the team and seeing how his experience and implementation ideas accelerate and improve our overall operations.”
