Republic Services supports the Chicago moratorium on landfills on the southeast side. In place for more than two decades, the moratorium has allowed the region to reach significant environmental benefits including the cleaning of the Calumet River, plans for the Millennium Reserve and the reappearance of natural species such as bald eagles. Republic Services remains committed to the important environmental work in the region and is actively supporting the preservation of the moratorium.
