DuPage County Environmental Development Committee Meeting, Tuesday 10/6/26

The DuPage County Environmental Development Committee met on October 6, 2026. The committee approved prior meeting minutes and voted to receive and place on file a staff report about the 2026 fall sign-recycling flyer. Staff described a recycling education campaign involving bus advertising and a small collection event for electronics, textiles, books, and batteries; the presentation noted that a partner county would fully fund advertising on one route. No contract awards, bid approvals, or vendor selections were identified.

Presentations covered the county’s Sustainable DuPage and Illinois Green Business Certification work, local business energy and waste-reduction efforts, and community recycling, repair, education, and reuse programs. Staff also said a roughly $40,000 request had been added to the budget for renewal of the county’s five-year solid waste management plan, required by the state and due in 2027. The transcript does not record approval of that request.
