IyasimLTA Ikmagnmalim
City Council consider the approval of the Second Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement
with the City of Fort Worth for continued participation in their Environmental Collection
Center and Household Hazardous Waste Program, authorize the City Manager to execute
said renewal and take any necessary action.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funds are programmed in the FY16 Budget, Account 100-44540-415-5; Professional
Services in an amount of $51,500.
BACKGROUND:
Grapevine has participated with Fort Worth in providing a Household Hazardous Waste
(HHW) collection facility and program for the past several years. The City of Fort Worth
Environmental Collection Center (ECC) accepts HHW from citizens of participating cities
directly, provides for local collection events, and provides logistical support for the sound
disposal of hazardous waste. The current contract was approved in 2013 for an initial one-
year period with three additional, one-year renewal options. The first amendment was
approved for FY15 in 2014.
The cost charged by the ECC for each household that utilized the service was
$47/household for FY15 and remains $47/household for FY16. In Grapevine, 826
households have participated in the program so far through three quarters in FY15 at a
disposal cost of $38,822. The City of Grapevine committed sufficient resources to host a
local collection event on March 28, 2015 with 698 households participating during the event,
and 552 dropping off HHW for disposal. Adequate funds have been earmarked for FY16 to
provide for 1,095 households.
The HHW program provides our citizens with an environmentally sound method of disposal.
Without this alternative, hazardous waste could be illegally disposed of in the solid waste
collection system, stormwater drainage system, or the wastewater collection and treatment
system. The United States and the State of Texas have promulgated rules that require
cities to manage pollution in stormwater runoff; and the HHW Program is utilized as a
component of the comprehensive Storm Water Quality Management Program.

Household Hazardous Waste Program.
