City Council recently amended the Chicago Recycling Ordinance (Chapter 11-5 of the Chicago Municipal Code) to reflect the most current standards within the recycling industry. The ordinance now provides greater clarity to property owners about their recycling responsibilities while also giving city officials stronger enforcement capabilities. The new Chicago Recycling ordinance will take effect on January 1, 2017. 

Under the amended ordinance, property owners of multi-unit residential, office and commercial establishments will now be mandated to provide source-separated, single stream recycling (separating recyclable materials from waste before the point of collection) which is the most commonly used collection method in the industry. Property owners will also be responsible for implementing an ongoing educational program that includes posting signage, providing adequate carts and sending written notice to tenants about the changes. 

The Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation (DSS) will handle enforcement of the ordinance that includes a 30-day warning period and graduated penalties for noncompliance after an inspection. These penalties include: $500-$1,000 (first offense); $1,000 to $2,500 (second offense within 12-month period); and $2,500-$5,000 (third and each subsequent violation occurring within 12-months of the most recent violation). In 2013, Chicago completed the expansion of its blue cart recycling program that provides bi-weekly recycling collection services to the more than 600,000 residents who live in single family homes, two-flat, and three-flat and four-flat buildings.
