DuPage County committee approves 2026 notice to join state electronics-recycling program
Summary
The DuPage County Environmental Committee voted to submit a 2026 notice of participation to the state electronics-recycling program. County staff said the program itself has no direct cost to the county, aside from a roughly $6,000 annual expense to reimburse trailers at two drop-off sites.
The DuPage County Environmental Committee voted to approve ENR 2-25, a resolution to submit a 2026 notice of participation in the state’s electronics-recycling program.
County staff told the committee the state program requires no direct participation fee but that the county has reimbursed about $6,000 annually to support trailers at two drop-off locations in Naperville and Burbridge. "It's a no cost program, to the county, to submit it with the exception of we have been reimbursing for the trailers and such that are at our 2 sites, the Naperville and the Burbridge sites. So $6,000 annually for that," a county staff member said during the meeting.
The committee approved the minutes from its Jan. 7 meeting before taking up ENR 2-25. Both motions were carried by voice vote. Committee members present were recorded at roll call; no separate recorded roll-call vote was given for ENR 2-25 in the transcript.
County staff asked the committee for a motion to submit the form required for participation; a committee member moved and another seconded, and the chair called the question. The committee’s action authorizes submission of the county’s notice of participation for 2026 but does not by itself commit additional county funding beyond the recurring trailer reimbursements staff described.
The approval aligns DuPage County with the state-level electronics-recycling program and preserves the county’s access to state drop-off supports and event scheduling. Staff did not propose or request any additional county appropriations at the meeting.
