Background and Discussion: The Harris County Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility operates in compliance with the Texas Pollution and Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit # WQ0004685000 for Harris County. This contract is for the transportation and disposal of the hazardous waste items collected at the facility located at 6900 Hahl Road Houston TX 77040. The facility can no longer use the current contract, and this contract, 25/0086, will be our new contract.
Expected Impact: This is in compliance with our stormwater permit and is a mandated program. This program prevents 250 tons of hazardous chemicals being placed in our landfills annually. If placed in the landfill, these chemicals will eventually make their way to our waterways.
Alternative Options: We will have to go out for bid again, which may be a higher amount.
County Strategic Plan Goal: 5. Minimize the impact of climate change and disasters.
