We show that the Bernoulli part extraction method can be used to obtain approximate forms of the local limit theorem for sums of independent lattice valued random variables, with effective error term, that is with explicit parameters and universal constants. We also show that our estimates allow to recover Gnedenko and Gamkrelidze local limit theorems. We further establish by this method a local limit theorem with effective remainder for random walks in random scenery.
