Sec. 11-19-1. Contracts.
(a) Any city, village or incorporated town may make contracts
with any other city, village, or incorporated town or with any person,
corporation, or county, or any agency created by intergovernmental
agreement, for more than one year and not exceeding 30 years
relating to the collection and final disposition, or relating solely to
either the collection or final disposition of garbage, refuse and ashes.
A municipality may contract with private industry to operate a
designated facility for the disposal, treatment or recycling of solid
waste, and may enter into contracts with private firms or
local governments for the delivery of waste to such facility.
In regard to a contract involving a garbage, refuse, or garbage and refuse
incineration facility, the 30 year contract limitation imposed by this
Section shall be computed so that the 30 years shall not begin to run until
the date on which the facility actually begins accepting garbage or refuse.
The payments required in regard to any contract entered into under
this Division 19 shall not be regarded as indebtedness of the city,
village, or incorporated town, as the case may be, for the purpose of any
debt limitation imposed by any law. On and after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly, a municipality with a population of less than 1,000,000 shall not enter into any new contracts with any other unit of local government, by intergovernmental agreement or otherwise, or with any corporation or person relating to the collecting and final disposition of general construction or demolition debris; except that this sentence does not apply to a municipality with a population of less than 1,000,000 that is a party to: (1) a contract relating to the collecting and final disposition of general construction or demolition debris on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly; or (2) the renewal or extension of a contract relating to the collecting and final disposition of general construction or demolition debris irrespective of whether the contract automatically renews, is amended, or is subject to a new request for proposal after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly. (a-5) If a municipality with a population of less than 1,000,000 located in a county as defined in the Solid Waste and Recycling Program Act has never awarded a franchise to a private entity for the collection of waste from non-residential locations, then the municipality may not award a franchise unless: (1) the municipality provides prior written notice | ||
| ||
(2) the municipality adopts an ordinance requiring | ||
| ||
(3) the report to the municipality required under | ||
| ||
All such reports shall be filed with the municipality by the hauler on or before the last day of the month following the end of the 6-month reporting period. Within 15 days after the last day for licensed haulers to file such reports, the municipality shall post on its website: (i) the information provided by each hauler pursuant to paragraph (2) of this subsection (a-5), without identifying the hauler; and (ii) the aggregate number of non-residential locations served by all licensed haulers in the municipality and the aggregate number of non-residential locations contracting with all licensed haulers in the municipality for the recyclable materials collection service under Section 10 of the Solid Waste Hauling and Recycling Program Act. (a-10) Beginning at the conclusion of the 36-month reporting period and thereafter, and upon written request of the municipality, each licensed hauler shall, for every 6-month period, report to the municipality (i) the number of non-residential locations served by the hauler in the municipality and the number of non-residential locations contracting with the hauler for the recyclable materials collection service pursuant to Section 10 of the Solid Waste Hauling and Recycling Program Act, (ii) an estimate of the quantity of recyclable materials, in tons, collected by the hauler in the municipality from non-residential locations contracting with the hauler for recyclable materials collection service pursuant to Section 10 of the Solid Waste Hauling and Recycling Program Act, and (iii) an estimate of the quantity of municipal waste, in tons, collected by the hauler in the municipality from those non-residential locations. All reports for that 6-month period shall be filed with the municipality by the hauler on or before the last day of the month following the end of the 6-month reporting period. Within 15 days after the last day for licensed haulers to file such reports, the municipality shall post on its website: (i) the information provided by each hauler pursuant to this subsection (a-10), without identifying the hauler; and (ii) the aggregate number of non-residential locations served by all licensed haulers in the municipality and the aggregate number of non-residential locations contracting with all licensed haulers in the municipality for the recyclable materials collection service under Section 10 of the Solid Waste Hauling and Recycling Program Act. A municipality subject to subsection (a-5) of this Section may not award a franchise unless 2 consecutive 6-month reports determine that less than 50% of the non-residential locations within the municipality contract for recyclable material collection service pursuant to Section 10 of the Solid Waste Hauling and Recycling Program Act. (b) If a municipality with a population of less than 1,000,000 has never awarded a franchise to a private entity for the collection of waste from non-residential locations, then that municipality may not award such a franchise without issuing a request for proposal. The municipality may not issue a request for proposal without first: (i) holding at least one public hearing seeking comment on the advisability of issuing a request for proposal and awarding a franchise; (ii) providing at least 30 days' written notice of the hearing, delivered by first class mail to all private entities that provide non-residential waste collection services within the municipality that the municipality is able to identify through its records; and (iii) providing at least 30 days' public notice of the hearing. After issuing a request for proposal, the municipality may not award a franchise without first: (i) allowing at least 30 days for proposals to be submitted to the municipality; (ii) holding at least one public hearing after the receipt of proposals on whether to award a franchise to a proposed franchisee; and (iii) providing at least 30 days' public notice of the hearing. At the public hearing, the municipality must disclose and discuss the proposed franchise fee or calculation formula of such franchise fee that it will receive under the proposed franchise. (b-5) If no request for proposal is issued within 120 days after the initial public hearing required in subsection (b), then the municipality must hold another hearing as outlined in subsection (b). (b-10) If a municipality has not awarded a franchise within 210 days after the date that a request for proposal is issued pursuant to subsection (b), then the municipality must adhere to all of the requirements set forth in subsections (b) and (b-5). (b-15) The franchise fee and any other fees, taxes, or charges imposed by the municipality in connection with a franchise for the collection of waste from non-residential locations must be used exclusively for costs associated with administering the franchise program. (c) If a municipality with a population of less than 1,000,000 has never awarded a franchise to a private entity for the collection of waste from non-residential locations, then a private entity may not begin providing waste collection services to non-residential locations under a franchise agreement with that municipality at any time before the date that is 15 months after the date the ordinance or resolution approving the award of the franchise is adopted. (d) For purposes of this Section, "waste" means garbage, refuse, or ashes as defined in Section 11-19-2. (e) A home rule unit may not award a franchise to a private entity for the collection of waste in a manner contrary to the provisions of this Section. This Section is a limitation under subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on the concurrent exercise by home rule units of powers and functions exercised by the State.
(f) A municipality with a population of less than 1,000,000 shall not award a franchise or contract to any private entity for the collection of general construction or demolition debris from residential or non-residential locations. This subsection does not apply to a municipality with a population of less than 1,000,000 that is a party to: (1) a franchise or contract with a private entity for the collection of general construction or demolition debris from residential or non-residential locations on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly; or (2) the renewal or extension of a franchise or contract with a private entity for the collection of general construction or demolition debris from residential or non-residential locations irrespective of whether the franchise or contract automatically renews, is amended, or is subject to a new request for proposal after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly.

improvements existing on real property jointly acquired by purchase, gift
or condemnation for garbage, refuse and ashes disposal purposes which
cannot be used for such purposes may be disposed of in such manner as is

authorities of any one or more of the following:
(a) any other city, village or incorporated town;
(b) one or more counties; or

Whenever the corporate authorities of any city, village or incorporated
town enter a contract that is authorized by this Section they shall include
in the annual appropriation ordinance for each fiscal year, an
appropriation of a sum of money sufficient to pay the amount which, by the
terms of the contract, is to become due and payable from that city, village

State vehicle registration number of the waste hauler who deposited the
waste, if applicable, a citation to the specific code provision or provisions alleged to have been violated, a description of the circumstances present that constitute the alleged violation, the date and

The violation notice and report form shall contain a file number and a
hearing date noted by the sanitation inspector in the blank spaces provided
for that purpose on the form. The violation notice and report form shall
state that failure to appear at the hearing on the date indicated may
result in a determination of liability for the cited violation and the
imposition of fines and assessment of costs as provided by the applicable
municipal ordinance. The violation notice and report form shall also state
that upon a determination of liability and the exhaustion or failure to
exhaust procedures for judicial review, any unpaid fines or costs imposed
will constitute a debt due and owing the municipality.
A copy of the violation notice and report form shall be served upon the
respondent either personally or by first class mail, postage prepaid, and
sent to the address of the respondent. If the municipality has an
ordinance requiring all or certain property owners to register with the
municipality, service may be made on the respondent property owner by

with the municipality. If the name of the respondent property owner cannot
be ascertained or if service on such respondent cannot be made by mail,
service may be made on the respondent property owner by posting a copy of
the violation notice and report form in a prominent place upon the property
where the violation is found, not less than 10 days before the hearing is
scheduled.
