Committee hears staff updates on propane tank recycling partnership and food-waste outreach
Summary
A county staff member said DuPage County is partnering with the Forest Preserve District to collect one‑pound propane tanks at a family campground through October at minimal cost; staff also noted Food Waste Prevention Week social-media outreach boosted engagement.
DuPage County staff updated the Environmental Committee on May 6 about a propane tank recycling partnership and the county’s recent Food Waste Prevention Week outreach.
A staff member said the county is partnering with the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County to collect one‑pound propane tanks at Blackwell Family Campground through October and that the partnership “has cost the county less than $300 last year. So we're expecting another less than $500.” The staff member described the program as continuing through October and tied to campground operations.
Separately, staff recognized Miles for social-media outreach during Food Waste Prevention Week. Miles’s posts increased traffic and daily content during the awareness week, county staff said; committee members were asked to share posts to expand reach.
Both updates were informational; no formal committee action was taken.
