H. Mobile Collection Events
DISTRICT may schedule a mobile collection event to be operated by Fort Worth personnel using one
of Fort Worth's MCUs or conduct their own mobile collection events using either District's 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 District would like to schedule a mobile collection event with the Fort Worth Mobile
Collection Unit, District shall contact the ECC as soon as possible for a list of available dates.
The time and location shall be agreeable to both parties. District 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 each calendar year on
the first scheduled working day after the New Year begins. To ensure proper
notification to TCEQ, events must be scheduled at least sixty (60) days ahead of the
proposed date. District acknowledges that Fort Worth contracts with other
municipalities and that Fort Worth will be accommodating each District's request on
a first come first served basis. Therefore, District acknowledges that its chosen date
to schedule a mobile collection event may be reserved by another city and District
will have to then choose another date. District 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 city is entitled under this
contract. Additional events may be accommodated if feasible.
(b) Location
If District chooses to hold the Mobile Collection Event on private property, District
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 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 District 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, District 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, District 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, District acknowledges and agrees that if
it requests the Fort Worth Mobile Collection Unit at a mobile collection event, a
District's MCU shall not also be at the event.
FY 2018 Interlocal Agreement—Household Hazardous Waste Program Page 8 of 23
(e) Fort Worth, in its sole discretion, will determine whether to send the Fort Worth
Mobile Collection Unit to District'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 District and shall attempt to send a Fort
Worth employee to the District'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 Participating City 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. District Mobile Collection Unit:
(a) Fort Worth agrees to accept household hazardous waste from mobile collection
events conducted by District using District's MCU in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.
(b) Fort Worth agrees to restock the items it removes from District's MCU, however,
Fort Worth shall only restock items listed in Exhibit "A", attached and incorporated
herein as if set forth.
3. Loan of the Reserve Mobile Collection Unit
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. District may request the loan of Fort
Worth's Reserve MCU free of charge for use in a Household Hazardous Waste collection
event when available. District may use the Reserve MCU to transport HHW to Fort Worth's
ECC or another collection center that may lawfully receive HHW. District 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 District and shall notify District as soon as is reasonably
practicable of such decision. Fort Worth shall not participate in nor be responsible for any
part of the District'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
performed by Fort Worth. Also, both parties will complete a pre-trip aesthetic
assessment. District shall be responsible for all certifications and insurance necessary
for the proper operation of the Reserve MCU.
FY 2018 Interlocal Agreement—Household Hazardous Waste Program Page 9 of 23
(b) District agrees to maintain and return the Reserve MCU in as good condition as it
was in when District took possession for use. District shall return the Reserve MCU
to Fort Worth in a timely manner and as mutually agreed upon.
(c) District shall be responsible for all property damage, personal injury or death caused
by District'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.

recyclables.
4. After accepting wastes, District's MCU operators shall thoroughly check each container for
proper labeling and identification. If a container is properly identified, the material will be

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 District's MCU and store the unit at the ECC.After
being contacted, District shall pickup their unit within 10 days.

PACKAGING INSTRUCTIONS
For your safety and to make the collection of materials more efficient, we request that you take
these precautions prior to bringing materials to the collection site:
• If a product is still usable, try to give it to someone who can use it. It is only "waste" when it
is not something someone can use!
• Please bring liquid paint sorted by type (latex, oil-based, lead-based, etc.).
• Please keep chemicals in their containers. Place broken or leaking containers inside a
second container or like materials (e.g., glass for corrosives, metal for flammables) and
label properly.
• If container has no label and its contents are known, please place a label on the container
clearly stating the contents.
• DO NOT transport chemicals in the passenger compartment of your vehicle. Put them in
the trunk or bed of your vehicle.
If you have questions, please contact: Household Hazardous Waste Program Coordinator, P.O.
