Household Hazardous Waste Program
Latex paint continues to comprise the largest percentage of material received through this
program. Latex paint comprised almost three-fourths (72%) of the total gross volume of
HHW material received at Grapevine's two local collection events held in fiscal year 2005.
The program is important because it provides our citizens with an alternative and more
environmentally sound method of disposal. Without this alternative, the potential exists for
some of this material to be illegally disposed of in the solid waste collection system, storm
water drainage system, or the wastewater collection and treatment system. The United
States has promulgated rules that require cities to reduce pollution from storm water runoff
and we anticipate additional regulations from the State soon. The Household Hazardous
Waste Program is an important component of a comprehensive pollution prevention plan.
Staff recommends approval of the Interlocal Agreement that will continue Grapevine's
participation in Fort Worth's Environmental Collection Center and Household Hazardous
Waste Program.
