Note: For 1–4-unit buildings, Chicago charges $9.50 a month per dwelling unit for City garbage collection. Larger buildings hire private haulers. Owner-occupants 65 and older are eligible for a 50% discount ($4.75 per month) as part of their sewer exemption. Eligibility does not automatically imply enrollment. Community-area figures apply the method from our analysis What Wards Would Be Most Impacted By Increasing Chicago’s Garbage Fee? (October 2026), which reported wards.
