Schaumburg, IL Trash & Recycling: Recycling Rules (2026)

01 as a permanent structure for public meetings or events such as baseball, football or hockey games, or musical, dramatic, artistic, social or athletic events, including a convention center, but excluding a school stadium, a county fair, or a hotel. 03(A), so the director of community development and other credentialed village employees are the only people authorized to enter an event facility to inspect its recycling and composting procedures and processes. 12(C) is a home-rule preemption clause: it declares that the village's requirements prevail over all state laws and Cook County ordinances governing recycling and composting at event facilities, and names two competing measures it is specifically written to override, the state's Large Event Facilities Act and the Cook County Environmental Control Ordinance, chapter 30 of the Cook County Code, as well as any other state law or county ordinance adopted after the section's effective date.

That override rests on the home-rule power Illinois municipalities hold under Article VII of the state constitution, letting Schaumburg's own recycling and composting rules control at its event venues even where county or state law would otherwise apply.
