Harris County Commissioners Court is considering a request for the County Judge to sign a second amendment to an agreement with Elevate Communications, Inc. This change would reflect updates made by the U.S. Department of Energy for the ZEEBRA program, which stands for Zoos Educating on Electronics and Battery Recycling Awareness. The item was introduced on August 7, 2026.
Harris County manages a federal grant for a battery and electronics recycling education program. This amendment updates the county's agreement with its contractor to match changes the U.S. Department of Energy already made to the federal award.
