SUBJECT APPROVAL OF FEE SCHEDULE FOR FORT WORTH SMALL BUSINESS
HAZARDOUS WASTE PILOT PROGRAM AT THE ENVIRONMENTAL COLLECTION
CENTER
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the attached fee schedule to be used for the Small
Business Hazardous Waste Pilot Program for Fort Worth Small Business Owners at the Environmental
Collection Center beginning October 1, 2000.
DISCUSSION:
In an effort to better serve Fort Worth small business owners, the Environmental Collection Center
(ECC) is proposing a hazardous waste pilot program for businesses classified as Conditionally Exempt
Small Quantity Generators (CESQGs) beginning October 1, 2000. The Texas Natural Resource
Conservation Commission (TNRCC) defines CESQGs as entities that generate less than 220 pounds
(26.5 gallons) of hazardous waste per month and/or less than 2.2 pounds (.265 gallons) of a
designated acutely hazardous waste. CESQGs cannot accumulate more than 2,200 pounds of waste
on their property on an annual basis.
Over the last year, the ECC has seen an increase in the number of contractors attempting to dispose of
their commercial waste as household hazardous waste. CESQGs traditionally have minimal disposal
outlets for the waste they generate. When businesses are able to find disposal outlets, the cost for the
disposal is frequently so expensive many contractors look for more economical ways of disposing of
these wastes including illegal dumping. Implementation of this program will help to slow illegal dumping
as well as provide a service to area businesses.
A modest informational advertisement program will initiate the CESQG waste disposal during its first
year as a pilot program. Instead of a formal advertising campaign, the ECC will alert Fort Worth small
business associations to our services. The ECC staff will also make presentations and distribute
pamphlets to businesses interested in the proper disposal of their hazardous waste.
The CESQG program will be by appointment only. Patrons of this program will be scheduled to drop off
waste on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Friday. Businesses will be made aware of the strict appointment
policy. The appointment policy will allow the ECC to monitor (1) waste amounts and businesses that
fall outside of the strict CESQG guidelines; (2) types of waste brought to the ECC (i.e., no radioactive
material or ammunition is accepted); and (3) scheduling of temporary staff on collection days.
All small business owners will be required to sign a release indemnifying the City from liability for the
waste.
The City Council's Government Relations Committee was briefed on this pilot program at their meeting
on August 8, 2000.
