H. Mobile Collection Events
County may schedule a mobile collection event to be operated by Fort Worth personnel using

MCU or Fort Worth's Reserve MCU (as available). State regulations require notification to the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) at least 45 days prior to conducting the
event.
1. Fort Worth Operated Events:
If County would like to schedule a mobile collection event with the Fort Worth Mobile
Collection Unit, County shall contact the ECC as soon as possible for a list of available
dates. The time and location shall be agreeable to both parties. County may schedule
one mobile collection event each contract year. Fort Worth will file notification of the
event with TCEQ as required by 30 TAC§335.403.
(a) Scheduling Events
Fort Worth will begin scheduling mobile collection events for the 2017 calendar
year on January 9, 2017. To ensure proper notification to TCEQ, events must be
scheduled at least sixty (60) days ahead of the proposed date. County
acknowledges that Fort Worth contracts with other municipalities and that Fort
Worth will be accommodating each County's request on a first come first served
basis. Therefore, County acknowledges that its chosen date to schedule a
mobile collection event may be reserved by another city and County will have to
then choose another date. County will, in no event, be entitled to any damages
or recovery of any costs, except as provided herein. Only one mobile collection
event using Fort Worth staff and equipment per county is entitled under this
contract. Additional events may be accommodated if feasible.
(b) Location
If County chooses to hold the Mobile Collection Event on private property,
County shall obtain a signed waiver from the owner of the property sixty (60)
days prior to the event. The waiver shall be in the form of Exhibit B or similar
form approved by Fort Worth. The signed waiver must be sent to Fort Worth
2017 Interlocal Agreement—Household Hazardous Waste Program Page 8 of 23
sixty (60) days before the Mobile Collection Event. If the signed waiver is not
sent to Fort Worth sixty (60) days before the Mobile Collection Event, Fort
Worth will not send the Fort Worth Mobile Collection Unit to the event and
County will, in no event, be entitled to any damages or recovery of any costs,
except as provided herein.All events must be held on an impervious surface.
(c) At the Mobile Collection Event, County acknowledges and agrees that Fort
Worth shall accept household hazardous waste from the first 50 households
that show proof of residency at the Mobile Collection Event. After the first 50
households, Fort Worth will determine in its sole discretion how much more
waste it can accept for proper transport back to the ECC. If more households
arrive at the event than Fort Worth can accept, County will in no event be
entitled to any damages or recovery of any costs, except as provided herein.
(d) Due to the lack of storage space at the ECC, County acknowledges and agrees
that if it requests the Fort Worth Mobile Collection Unit at a mobile collection
event, a County's MCU shall not also be at the event.
(e) Fort Worth, in its sole discretion, will determine whether to send the Fort Worth
Mobile Collection Unit to County's Collection Event during adverse weather, the
threat of adverse weather, or other hazardous conditions including but not
limited to sleet, snow, rain, mist or hail. In the event Fort Worth determines not
to send the Fort Worth Mobile Collection Unit, Fort Worth shall attempt to
notify persons listed herein as an "Operational Contact" by the County and shall
attempt to send a Fort Worth employee to the County's event to tell any
residents that come to dispose of household hazardous waste that the Fort
Worth Mobile Collection Unit will not be coming to the event, but the resident
can go to the ECC to dispose of the waste. A map with directions to the ECC also
will be provided.
(f) The County agrees to collect collection data at the MCU and provide Fort Worth
with a list of total MCU participants and total quantities of wastes listed in an
Excel spreadsheet in a template provided by Fort Worth as Exhibit C, within ten
(10) days of the mobile collection event. No vouchers, sign-in sheets, or copies
of either will be accepted by Fort Worth.
2. County Mobile Collection Unit:
(a) Fort Worth agrees to accept household hazardous waste from mobile collection
events conducted by County using County's MCU in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement.
(b) Fort Worth agrees to restock the items it removes from County's MCU,
however, Fort Worth shall only restock items listed in Exhibit "A," attached and
incorporated herein as if set forth.

The reserve MCU is a specially designed and equipped thirty-six (36) foot gooseneck
box-trailer and one (1) ton pickup owned by Fort Worth. County may request the loan
of Fort Worth's Reserve MCU free of charge for use in a Household Hazardous Waste
collection event when available. County may use the Reserve MCU to transport HHW to
Fort Worth's ECC or another collection center that may lawfully receive HHW. County
shall provide Fort Worth with a written request, facsimile or e-mail at least sixty (60)
days prior to the event date for which the request is made. Fort Worth shall have sole
determination whether the Reserve MCU is available for use by County and shall notify
County as soon as is reasonably practicable of such decision. Fort Worth shall not
participate in nor be responsible for any part of the County's HHW Collection Event
unless and except by written mutual agreement.
(a) Fort Worth shall disclose any known problems the Reserve MCU may have in
performing the tasks necessary for the HHW Collection Event. Prior to issuance
of the Reserve MCU, a pre-trip inspection for potential maintenance problems
will be preformed by Fort Worth. Also, both parties will complete a pre-trip
aesthetic assessment. County shall be responsible for all certifications and
insurance necessary for the proper operation of the Reserve MCU.
(b) County agrees to maintain and return the Reserve MCU in as good condition as
it was in when County took possession for use. County shall return the Reserve
MCU to Fort Worth in a timely manner and as mutually agreed upon.
(c) County shall be responsible for all property damage, personal injury or death
caused by County's employees, volunteers, contractors, or agents and arising
out of the use of the Reserve MCU during the term of this Agreement.
(d) It is expressly understood and agreed that, in the execution of this Agreement,
neither of the parties waives, nor shall be deemed hereby to waive, any
immunity or defense that would otherwise be available to it against claims
arising in the exercise of governmental powers and functions. By entering into
this Agreement the parties do not intend to create any obligations, expressed or
implied, other than those set forth herein and this Agreement shall not create
any rights in parties not signatories hereto.

containers for recyclables.
2017 Interlocal Agreement—Household Hazardous Waste Program Page 11 of 23
4. After accepting wastes, County's MCU operators shall thoroughly check each container
for proper labeling and identification. If a container is properly identified, the material

attempt to identify the material from its physical characteristics using HAZCAT analysis
and from information provided by the household presenting the waste.
5. The County's MCU operators shall package all hazardous materials in accordance with
United States Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements, United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements, and all other applicable federal

the container content sheets, and pack them into drums. Oil-based paints and latex
paints shall be bulked separately in 55-gallon drums, or if the paint is left in its
container, the paint can be packed in a lined cubic yard box, and packed and labeled
according to federal and state regulations. County shall not transport waste that is not
HHW to the ECC. County agrees to make its own arrangements to dispose of any non-
HHW waste collected at the event.
6. Prior to transporting the HHW from the collection event site, County's MCU operators
shall complete a Bill of Lading, and shall keep the Bill of Lading in the cab of the truck
hauling the MCU during transportation of the HHW to the ECC. County shall require

parked for unloading in accordance with Fort Worth's instructions and all required
documents have been delivered to the ECC manager or his designee at the ECC. Fort
Worth shall, within a reasonable amount of time, unload the HHW from the County's
MCU and store the unit at the ECC. After being contacted, County shall pickup their unit
within 10 days.
9. If Fort Worth, in its sole discretion, determines that County's MCU operators improperly
packaged any of the HHW delivered to the ECC, Fort Worth shall repackage such waste,
and County shall reimburse Fort Worth as set forth herein.
10. If a spill emanating from the County's MCU or the Reserve MCU occurs at the ECC while
the MCU is still in County's possession, Fort Worth shall take control of the spill
response and County will reimburse Fort Worth for its response costs as set forth
herein.

a voucher from them as well.
• Bring liquid paint sorted by type(i.e.latex,oil-based,and lead-based).
• Keep chemicals in their original containers;place broken or leaking containers in a second container of like
material(i.e.glass for corrosives,metal for flammables).

Why Household Chemicals Need Proper Disposal
Household chemical wastes are sometimes disposed of improperly by people pouring them down the drain,onto the
ground,into storm sewers,or putting them in the trash.
Storm sewers in this area flow directly into creeks and rivers. So pouring waste into a storm sewer curb inlet is the
same as pouring it directly into a neighborhood creek. It doesn't take much waste to harm a creek either.A single
quart of used motor oil can pollute up to 250,000 gallons of water.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) reports that nationwide, 85% of household chemical
wastes are disposed of in landfills, and that the average American household generates 15 pounds of this waste
each year. Because the majority of landfills currently operating in the United States are unlined, only 25% have
groundwater monitoring, and only 5% have leachate collection systems, disposal of household chemical wastes
with trash poses a risk to groundwater.Sanitation workers can be injured by the reaction of chemical wastes mixing
with each other or with other wastes in a garbage truck.
Septic tanks, wastewater treatment systems, and receiving waters can be damaged by some chemicals that are
poured down the drain. For example, Fort Worth does not have the costly technology in place to treat wastewater
for the pesticide diazinon. So any diazinon that is poured down the drain will go through the wastewater treatment
system and be discharged into the Trinity River.
Old paint, pesticides, used oil and other automotive fluids, household cleaners, solvents, batteries, and pesticides
are all examples of household chemicals that could be hazardous to the environment if disposed of Improperly.
These wastes usually have one or more of the following characteristics:
♦ Corrosive:gradually dissolves other materials
• Ignitable:flammable
• Reactive:can cause explosion/produce deadly vapors
• Toxic:poisonous to humans and animals

Household Chemical Waste: Consumer Alerts
Hazards of Mercury in the Home
A technical report issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics(AAP)in July 2001 addresses the hazards of
mercury and the measures pediatricians can take to reduce children's exposure. One of the chief conclusions of the
report is that pediatricians and parents should stop using mercury-containing thermometers. In a press release the
AAP said,"although the amount of mercury in a single thermometer is usually insufficient to produce clinically
significant exposure when ingested,if the thermometer breaks,the mercury vaporizes and can be inhaled, causing
toxicity.As a result the statement calls for an end to the use of all mercury-containing thermometers."
Exposure to mercury can cause damage to the nervous system,the brain,the kidneys,the liver and the immune
system. Children and fetuses are particularly vulnerable.
If you are a resident of Fort Worth or a participating city,you may take mercury thermometers to the Environmental
Collection Center for disposal. Do not break the thermometer,and do not put it in the trash.The ECC is located at
6400 Bridge Street in Fort Worth, and is open to the public Thursdays and Fridays from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. and
Saturdays from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.
Dangers of Illegal Mothballs
Illegally imported mothballs,which can easily be mistaken for candy or gumballs, are a concern
due to widespread sale and distribution.Their use can lead to the accidental poisoning of
children.The mothballs often contain paradichlorobenzene and naphthalene. Recent studies
have linked both chemicals to illnesses, and naphthalene has been linked to nasal cancer.
Properly registered products have labels that list their ingredients,their human, environmental,
physical and chemical hazards, and information on their use,storage and disposal. Comparisons
with similar, registered products show that many of these illegal products lack key information on
their labels.
Many of these products are sold in immigrant-owned markets or at larger thrift stores and flea
markets. They might also be purchased off the Internet.
If you have purchased these products, PLEASE DO NOT USE THEM. Instead,take them to the
City of Fort Worth's Environmental Collection Center, 6400 Bridge Street, (817-871-5257)so that
the City can dispose of them properly.The collection center is for Fort Worth residents and
residents of participating cities.
When pest control products are unregistered,there is no way for consumers to
know if the claims made on packages are accurate.The products could contain
unlisted toxic agents, or they could fail to have proper safety warnings. IF

Miraculous Insecticide Chalk
The Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)continues to warn the public not to purchase or use an insecticide
product sold under various names including"Miraculous Insecticide Chalk,""Pretty Baby Chalk,"and"Chinese

chemical called deltamethrin,which is
one of the most toxic pesticides of its kind.The packaging contains no list of ingredients or consumer warnings. In
fact,some of the packages claim the product is"harmless to human beings and animals"and"safe to use"
Overexposure can produce serious health effects,including vomiting,stomach pains, convulsions,tremors, coma,
and death due to respiratory failure. Serious allergic reactions are also possible.
There are also high levels of lead and other hazardous metals in the product's colorful packaging. Thus,the
packaging itself is hazardous to children and adults if they handle the box or place it in their mouth.
If you have purchased these products, PLEASE DO NOT USE THEM. Instead,wrap them in a plastic bag and take
them to the City of Fort Worth's Environmental Collection Center,6400 Bridge Street, (817-871-5257)so that the

"Tres Pasitos"
"Tres Pasitos"is imported illegally from Mexico and other Latin American countries. Its name means"three little
steps"in English, because after eating it, this is all mice can muster before dying. The active ingredient(or the
chemical that actually kills the pest)in"Tres Pasitos"is a chemical called aldicarb.The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency considers aldicarb to be a very toxic chemical-and one that should never be used in your home.
Children are especially vulnerable to poisoning by aldicarb when it is sprinkled around the home to control roaches,
mice and rats.Exposure to high amounts of aldicarb can cause weakness, blurred vision, headache, nausea,
tearing,sweating, and tremors in people.Very high doses can kill people, because it can paralyze the respiratory
system.What"Tres Pasitos"does to pests,It can also do to you.

HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of Interlocal Agreements with Various Municipalities and Other
Governmental Entities for Participation in the Environmental Collection Center Household
Hazardous Waste Program (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of Interlocal Agreements with various
local municipalities and other governmental entities for their participation in the Environmental
Collection Center Household Hazardous Waste Program.
DISCUSSION:
The City's Environmental Collection Center is now in its 16th year of operation collecting household
hazardous waste from the residents of Fort Worth and surrounding communities on a year round
basis. In order for non-Fort Worth residents to participate at the center, each entity is required to
enter into an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Fort Worth.
The term for these Agreements will be for Fiscal Year 2014 (October 1, 2013 through September 30,
2014) with three one-year options to renew(through Fiscal Year 2017). Renewal may be effected by
written notification by the City Manager or his designated representative to the participating entity
within 30 days of the expiration of the prior term and does not require specific City Council
approval. The rate per household for the period covered by these Agreements is$47.00 per
household. It is anticipated that approximately$760,000.00 will be collected annually under these
Agreements. During Fiscal Year 2013, 46 entities signed participation Agreements with the City of
Fort Worth. For the upcoming year, it is expected that all of these entities will participate.
This Agreement outlines the responsibilities of each party, establishes the rate for participation,
details procedures for loan of mobile collection unit, and delineates the usage of service marked
public education materials. The City of Fort Worth is responsible for overall operation of the center
including contracting with a hazardous waste disposal company for transportation and disposal of
materials collected.
The following entities are expected to execute an Agreement to participate in Fiscal Year 2014:
Arlington Haslet Roanoke
Azle Hood County Saginaw
Bedford Hurst Sherman
