Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide. Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.
MUNICIPALITIES (65 ILCS 5/) Illinois Municipal Code. 65 ILCS 5/11-19-4
(65 ILCS 5/11-19-4) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-19-4)
Sec. 11-19-4.
The corporate authorities of each city, village and
incorporated town, whether organized under the general law or special
charter, with a population of less than 500,000, may establish and
maintain systems or plants, by contract or by direct provision, for the
collection and disposal, treatment or recycling or solely for
the collection or solely for the disposal, treatment or recycling of
garbage, refuse and ashes
in the city, village or incorporated town and for this purpose may levy
a tax. In municipalities with a population of less than 25,001, the tax
rate may not exceed .20% or the rate limit in effect on July 1, 1967,
whichever is greater, of the value, as equalized or assessed by the
Department of Revenue, on all of the taxable property
in the city or village for the current year. In municipalities with a
population of more than 25,000 the tax rate may not exceed .10% or the
rate limit in effect on July 24, 1969, whichever is greater, of the
value as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue on all of the
taxable property in the city or village for the current year. The annual
garbage tax shall be in addition to the amount authorized to be levied for
general purposes as provided by Section 8-3-1.
The foregoing limitations upon tax rates, insofar as they are
applicable to cities, villages and incorporated towns of less than
500,000 population, may be increased or decreased under the referendum
provisions of the General Revenue Law of Illinois.
The corporate authorities may, in addition to the levy of a garbage
tax, finance the establishment and maintenance of systems or plants, by
contract or by direct provision, for the collection and disposal, treatment
or recycling or solely for the collection or solely for the disposal,
treatment or recycling of garbage, refuse and ashes by service charges to be
collected from persons, firms and corporations receiving service. Such
service charges shall be established as can reasonably be expected to
yield revenues not in excess of contract obligations and the costs
of operation, maintenance, and
an adequate depreciation fund. If a city, village or incorporated town
assesses a service charge, the schedule of charges shall be adopted by
ordinance, and a copy of the schedule shall be furnished to each customer.

65 ILCS 5/11-19-5
(65 ILCS 5/11-19-5) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-19-5)
Sec. 11-19-5.
Every city, village or incorporated town may provide such
method or methods as shall be approved by the corporate authorities for the
disposition of garbage, refuse and ashes. Any municipality may provide by
ordinance that such method or methods shall be the exclusive method or methods
for the disposition of garbage, refuse and ashes to be allowed within that
municipality. Such ordinance may be enacted notwithstanding the fact that
competition may be displaced or that such ordinance may have
an anti-competitive effect. Such methods may include, but
need not be limited to land fill, feeding of garbage to hogs, incineration,
reduction to fertilizer, or otherwise. Salvage and fertilizer or other
matter or things of value may be sold and the proceeds used for the
operation of the system. Material that is intended or collected
to be recycled is not garbage, refuse or ashes. A municipality with a population of less than 1,000,000 shall not provide by ordinance for any methods that award a franchise for the collection or final disposition of general construction or demolition debris, except as allowed under Section 11-19-1.
