DuPage committee approves $16,000 contract with Good Marketing Inc. for regional recycling campaign
Summary
The DuPage County Environmental Committee voted Oct. 7 to approve a contract with Good Marketing Inc. funded through a US EPA regional grant to run outreach including billboards and transit ads across the Chicago area.
The DuPage County Environmental Committee on Oct. 7 approved a contract with Good Marketing Inc. to provide marketing services for a regional recycling education campaign funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The motion covered a contract period from Oct. 14, 2025, through June 1, 2027, and a total contract amount not to exceed $16,000. The committee voted in favor of the contract with no recorded opposition and the motion carried.
A county staff member told the committee the campaign is a multi‑county effort — described in the presentation as "Greater Chicago" or "Chicago‑area" — that will place roughly 80 billboards throughout the region and use transit kiosks and Metro placements. "They will be on Metro. They will be on CTA," the staff member said, adding the campaign will link to partner websites for localized recycling guidance. Partners named in the presentation include Will County, Kendall County, McHenry County and DuPage County and City of Chicago entities.
The presenter said the outreach aims to simplify recycling messages across jurisdictions by focusing on widely accepted items such as bottles and cans. Committee members asked clarifying questions about private‑sector engagement in product labeling; staff said some manufacturers already include multiple recycling symbols on packaging.
