Illinois Statutes Chapter 415. Environmental Safety § 105/10. Receptacles for the deposit of litter on property held out to the public and on property under departmental jurisdiction

§ 10. In order to assist the public in complying with this Act, the owner or person in control of any property which is held out to the public as a place for assemblage, the transaction of business, recreation or as a public way shall cause to be placed and maintained receptacles for the deposit of litter, of sufficient volume and in sufficient numbers to meet the needs of the numbers of people customarily coming on or using the property.

For purposes of this Section, “property held out to the public for the transaction of business” includes, but is not limited to, commercially-operated parks, campgrounds, drive-in restaurants, automobile service stations, business parking lots, car washes, shopping centers, marinas, boat launching areas, industrial parking lots, boat moorage and fueling stations, piers, beaches and bathing areas, airports, roadside rest stops, drive-in movies, and shopping malls; and “property held out to the public for assemblage, recreation or as a public way” includes, but is not limited to, any property that is publicly owned or operated for any of the purposes stated in the definition in this paragraph for “property held out to the public for the transaction of business” but excludes State highway rights-of-way and rest areas located thereon.

The Secretary of Transportation and the Director of Natural Resources shall prescribe the type or types of litter receptacles to be placed on property under the jurisdiction of the Department of Transportation and of the Department of Natural Resources, respectively. The Secretary of Transportation shall also promulgate rules and regulations governing the placement of receptacles on property under the jurisdiction of the Department of Transportation.

If no litter receptacles are placed on property described in this Section the owner or person in control of the property may be convicted of a petty offense and fined $100 for violating this Section. If the owner or person in control of such property has placed litter receptacles on his property but the number or size of such receptacles has proved inadequate to meet the needs of the numbers of people coming on or using his property as indicated by the condition and appearance of that property, and the owner or person in control has failed to provide sufficient or adequate receptacles within 10 days after being made aware of that fact by written notice from the appropriate law enforcement agency, he may be convicted of a petty offense and fined $25 for each receptacle not so provided and maintained.
