Texas City, Texas<br />
The Project Team recommends that Texas City select a vendor that subscribes to these<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ards <strong>and</strong> is committed to the responsible management of surplus <strong>and</strong> end-of-life<br />
electronic equipment. Such vendors will provide the city with a copy of the Texas<br />
E-cycling St<strong>and</strong>ards, including a signed statement by an officer of the organization<br />
agreeing to abide by them. More information on TEST st<strong>and</strong>ards can be obtained on<br />
the <strong>Recycling</strong> Alliance of Texas website.<br />
The Project Team also recommends that the city talk with H-GAC staff regarding the<br />
possibility contracting for e-waste processing services through their regional contract<br />
with Recycle America Alliance, LLC. The contract allows H-GAC member cities <strong>and</strong><br />
counties to contract with the vendor for the collection, transportation <strong>and</strong> disposal of<br />
electronic waste (e-waste) within the H-GAC region at pre-negotiated prices. The<br />
contract can cover either one-day collection events or permanent e-waste facilities.<br />
