Chicagoans Pay Big For Trash Pick-Up

The 600,000 households in Chicago that rely on City Hall to collect and dispose of their trash enjoy first-rate service. Regardless of what residents leave in alleys, the city carts it away to a landfill at no extra charge.

This top-shelf service, however, comes at a hefty price. Chicago taxpayers pay considerably more to collect and get rid of their waste than almost any other big city, an analysis by the Chicago News Cooperative has found.
