Cook County Solid Waste Management Plan, 2011 Update

The original Cook County Solid Waste Management Plan was prepared in 1991/92 as required by the Illinois Solid Waste Planning and Recycling Act. It was adopted by the Cook County Board in 1996 and subsequently approved by IEPA. The first five-year update was submitted to IEPA in 2000. This is the second update, and each update serves to summarize current waste management conditions, provide contemporary waste management options, report the status of existing recommendations, and propose new recommendations.
