Wilson County Commissioners scheduled the annual hazardous-waste collection event for Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026 and instructed staff to negotiate an interlocal agreement (ILA) with the San Antonio River Authority to lock in roles, staffing and recurring scheduling parameters.
Court discussion focused on calendar conflicts with the Peanut Festival and other fall events, the need to reserve the courthouse parking and lawn area, and the role of the river authority in providing staff and coordination under an ILA. Commissioners approved the date and directed county staff to finalize ILA terms that include responsibilities for traffic control, staffing, and overtime compensation for county employees when required.
