Plainfield §10-18, New Lenox §95-6, Mokena §50-5, Frankfort §94-3, and Lockport §97-2 each impose comparable requirements.

Overflowing bins, broken containers, and bins blocking sidewalks violate codes. Private haulers (Groot Industries, Waste Management, Republic Services) service most of the county on municipal contracts. Illinois EPA solid waste rules (35 Ill. Adm.
