Household Hazardous Waste Disposal

The City Council will vote at the next council meeting on a proposed agreement between Georgetown and Round Rock to allow Georgetown residents to acquire vouchers from Georgetown to allow household hazardous waste disposal at Round Rock's disposal site.

This is an interim, limited solution to the issue of household hazardous waste in the city as it only provides for up to 50 vouchers per month.

SUBJECT:
Consideration and possible action to approve an interlocal agreement between the City of Georgetown and the City of Round Rock for the purchase of Household Hazardous Waste vouchers -- Octavio Garza, PE, Public Works Director

ITEM SUMMARY:
The City of Georgetown's former Household Hazardous Waste contractor is unable to continue collecting household material from residents due to going out of business in December 2018. The inter-local agreement will enable Georgetown residents to participate in the City of Round Rock's collection program. The inter-local agreement has been reviewed and approved by the legal staff of both cities.

City off Georgetown residents will be able to obtain vouchers for disposal of household hazardous waste from the Georgetown Municipal Complex and redeem the vouchers at the City of Round Rock disposal facility located at 310 Deep Wood Dr in Round Rock, Texas. The Inter-local Agreement is a stop-gap measure until a longer term, sustainable solution is developed.

The proposed agreement with limitations and conditions can be accessed here.
