Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval to conduct one HazMobile Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Event or BOPA (Batteries/Oil/Paint/Antifreeze) Event in each Precinct on any date prior to (August 1, 2025), at a cost not to exceed $40,000, in accordance with Harris County's Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Stormwater Permit, Countywide.
end
Background and Discussion:
In accordance with 30 TAC §335.403(b)(6), this action authorizes the use of Harris County properties for these HHW collection events, which will allow residents the opportunity to properly dispose of household hazardous waste.
These events provide residents of unincorporated Harris County an easy, safe, and efficient way to dispose of chemicals found in their home. These events are localized and have been conducted in the spring and fall since 2007. These events are conducted in areas that are not near the permanent collection facility.
Event collection events are planned for the following dates: Precinct 1 (HazMobile) on May 17, 2025, Pct 2 (HazMobile) on April 5, 2025, Pct 3 (HazMobile) on May 3, 2025, and Precinct 4 (BOPA) location and time to be determined at a later date, all subject to adjustment in the event of inclement weather.
Expected Impact:
These events prevent approximately 6 tons of hazardous chemicals being placed in our local landfills or
waterways annually.
Alternative Options:
Residents of unincorporated Harris County may dispose of household hazardous waste at the permanent collection facility located at 6900 Hahl Road by scheduling an appointment.
