While 13 years of space may not sound like much, capacity has improved significantly since the early 90's when only six to seven years of landfill area remained in Illinois. This increase in space is due in part to the vigorous recycling efforts of municipalities and citizens, in addition to several programs administered by the Illinois EPA that divert waste from landfills. Learn about the Used Tire Program and the Industrial Material Exchange Service, two IEPA efforts that reduce the amount of unnecessary waste going into state landfills.
