Put Waste in its Place
Put waste in its place,
So our world won’t be a disgrace
If we don’t put it where it should be,
No one could disagree,
That our earth would be the worst place to be,
There would be so many landfills,
You would have to go to Dr. Phil’s
When there would be billions of dumps,
You would break out in goose bumps,
The smell would be so bad,
You would absolutely turn mad,
We would be living like a rat,
But if you want to change all that,
Start by reusing, recycling, and do reduce,
There is no excuse,
Not to try to use the three R’s,
And be one of the earth’s saviors!!!

TWO LANDFILLS IN REGION ONE SHOW UP IN THE TOP THREE
rankings of all the State’s landfills in terms of waste receipts
for 2004. Onyx Orchard Hills Landfill, Davis Junction, ranks
second in the state by accepting 4.7 million gate cubic yards; Lee
County Landfill, Dixon, is third with 4.0 million gate cubic yards
received.
Cook County (County Seat: Chicago) has only two landfills left:
CID RDF #3 and #4 and Congress Development Company. Transfer
stations in Chicago consolidate wastes and transport them to distant
landfills in Northwestern and Central Illinois.
Region One’s seven active facilities received more than 12.3 million
gate cubic yards of waste in 2004 — or 314,000 gate cubic yards
less than in 2003, a 2.5 percent decline. One landfill closed in 2003
in the City of Freeport.
Two landfills expand
Capacity available for waste disposal increased 29.1 percent from
2003 to 2004, by a total of 43.6 million gate cubic yards based upon
expansions at two landfills in the region. Onyx Orchard Hills, Davis
Junction, received approval for a vertical and horizontal expansion
on July 26, 2004. Winnebago Reclamation Service, Rockford added
capacity on April 27, 2004 when its permit application for a vertical
and horizontal expansion was approved.

R1.2 Nonhazardous Solid Waste Management and Landfill Capacity in Illinois: 2004
Capacity increased 29.1 percent as of Jan. 1, 2005
This region is second in the state, behind Peoria/Quad Cities, in
remaining capacity, with a 19.6 capacity share. Onyx Orchard Hills
Landfill reported almost 102.4 million gate cubic yards of space
available as of Jan. 1, 2005, making it third in the state in capacity
ranking on that date. Prairie Hill RDF, Morrison, with 44.9 million
gate cubic yards ranks seventh in capacity remaining.
Total capacity for the Region’s seven landfills, reporting on Jan. 1,
2005, was over 193.6 million gate cubic yards which means 16
years of remaining capacity for the region.
Two landfills help boost the State’s capacity
On July 26, 2004, Onyx Orchard Hills obtained approval for an
additional 19.6 million cubic yards airspace with its 40.5 foot
vertical expansion and its 76 acre horizontal expansion.
Winnebago Reclamation Services, Rockford, received a permit to
expand vertically and horizontally in April, 2004. This expansion
will add 1.8 million cubic yards of airspace for waste disposal at this
landfill.
Lee County Landfill, Dixon, also opened Cells 13 and 14 in
September and October 2004. A future expansion at this landfill of
29.4 million airspace cubic yards has received local siting approval,
and is under Agency review.

Questions and Complaints
Illinois EPA Region One field office
personnel investigate reports of
suspected illegal waste disposal, and
inspect the region’s landfills, transfer
stations and compost facilities, except
in LaSalle and Ogle counties, where
some responsibility has been
delegated to local authorities.
Questions or complaints concerning
pollution control facilities, open
dumping or other incidents should be
directed to the office having jurisdiction
over the site:

Another expansion proposed in Lee County
Seven landfills in the Northwestern Illinois region remained open
into 2005. Another landfill, Lee County Landfill, Dixon, proposes to
expand by 29.4 million cubic yards in the near future.
Delegated inspections in LaSalle and Ogle counties
The Illinois EPA delegated inspection authority to the LaSalle
County Department of Environmental Services and Development
and to the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department.
Delegation agreements authorize these agencies to conduct many of
the duties that would otherwise have to be performed by the Illinois
EPA field office in Rockford: investigating and enforcing suspected
violations of land pollution laws and reports of open dumping, also
inspecting landfills, transfer stations and compost facilities
permitted through the Agency’s Bureau of Land. (Inspections also
include nonhazardous industrial waste landfills, or monofills, and
landfills that closed prior to 2002; these facilities are not included in
this report.)
Rockford dominated regional transfer station activity
An Agency survey determined Region One’s transfer stations
handled more than 156,519 gate tons of municipal waste in 2004, an
amount equivalent to 1.2 percent of the waste landfilled in the
region. Of those voluntarily reporting, Waste Management/
Rockford processed 50 percent of the regional total. Two of the
transfer stations did not voluntarily report to the Agency.
There were two inactive transfer stations in 2004. In the City of
Mendota, Illinois, Waste Management temporarily closed its
transfer station during 2004. Rockford Landscape Waste Transfer
Station was not active during 2004.
The City of Freeport proposes to open a transfer station to replace
its landfill that closed. More information about it will appear in the
2005 (19th) annual report. They received a permit to develop the
site on December 8, 2004.

Region One’s five active compost facilities reported processing
more than 41,500 gate tons of landscape waste in 2004. The two
sites: Rockford Composting, Cherry Valley, (ranked sixth in the
state) and DeKalb County Landfill’s Compost Site processed 86.5
percent of the region’s total. Freeport Municipal Landfill #4
Compost Facility certified closed on Jan. 9, 2004.
Municipal Waste
Management Plans
The Solid Waste Planning and
Recycling Act requires all Illinois
counties and the city of Chicago to
develop, adopt and implement 20-year
municipal waste management plans.
Plans include programs and
recommendations to achieve solid
waste management goals, which
typically include waste reduction,
recycling, incineration and landfilling as
program options.
The law requires each plan to include a
program designed to recycle 15
percent of municipal waste by the end
of the third year of the program and 25
percent of municipal waste by the end
of the fifth year (1996), depending
upon the availability of markets.
Every five years, each plan must
identify changes in planning areas,
evaluate progress in plan
implementation and, if necessary,
revise plan recommendations and
goals. The county also has the option
of updating its solid waste generation
rate. The plan is then submitted to the
Illinois EPA for review and comment.
Five year plan updates have been
adopted by all counties in Region One.
Ten year plan updates have also been
adopted by DeKalb, LaSalle, Lee,
Ogle, Putnam, Stephenson, Whiteside
and Winnebago counties.
Questions concerning these plans and
their availability should be directed to
the appropriate local administrators
listed in Appendix K of this report.
Average regional recycling rate remains healthy
The Agency does not regulate recycling, nor is the Agency required
to obtain statistics. Nevertheless, as a public service, the Agency
sought this information from county recycling coordinators, who
reported recycling rates ranging from 3.0 to 51.1 percent.
Region One’s overall recycling rate of 24.8 percent is a multi-year
average because six counties did not report new data in 2004 (see
Appendix M for more details).
