Landfill Capacity Report

The Illinois Solid Waste Management Act, enacted in September 1986, established the State's commitment to address solid waste handling, based on a solid waste management hierarchy as follows:

• volume reduction at the source;
• recycling and reuse;
• combustion with energy recovery;
• combustion for volume reduction; and
• disposal in landfill facilities.

Under this Act, the Illinois EPA is required to publish an annual report "regarding the projected disposal capacity available for solid waste in sanitary landfills".
