Because you are or were a customer of Flood Brothers Disposal Company that may have paid an environmental and regulatory charge at any time from February 15, 2014 to February 20,2026, you may be a member of a certified class in a class action lawsuit that may affect your rights.
On June 26, 2025, the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Circuit Judge Michael T. Mullen, certified a class action lawsuit consisting of certain current and former commercial customers of Flood Brothers Disposal Company (“Flood Brothers”) who paid an “environmental and regulatory charge” (as set out in the Order certifying the Class) at any time from February 15, 2014 to February 20, 2026. The class action seeks monetary damages for BBJL Properties, LLC (“Plaintiff”) and all Class Members, which may include you, pursuant to the Illinois Consumer Fraud Act, 735 ILCS 5/2-801, et seq.
The Court has not decided whether there is any merit to Plaintiff’s claims against Flood Brothers. The fact that a class has been certified does not mean that Plaintiff will win this case, that any monetary damages will be awarded, or that Flood Brothers did anything wrong. It only means that this case will proceed from this time forward as a class action. Unless you opt-out of this class action lawsuit as set forth below, your rights against Flood Brothers for the claims asserted in the class action lawsuit will be decided in this case.
