(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.
