The Fall B.O.P.A (Batteries, Oil, Paint and Antifreeze) collection event is scheduled for Saturday, October 23rd at the Metro Park & Ride between 9am and 1pm.
Council Member Dave Martin and the City of Houston are hosting the event and published the following guidelines: The event is free and open to all City of Houston residents.
