The San Antonio River Authority, along with local partners, hosts six (6) free Household Hazardous Waste Collection Events within Wilson, Karnes, and Goliad counties. These semi-annual events are held in the spring and fall. County residents may stop by to drop off unwanted household hazardous waste, tires, paint, used motor oil & filters, cleaning products, pesticides, computers, small electronics, and pharmaceuticals.
The River Authority hosts these household hazardous waste collection events with the hope that it will lead to a reduction in waste that enters our creeks and rivers. These are free events and are first come, first serve due to availability.
Recently, SAWS released a limited amount of water with reduced oxygen levels which impacted water quality. While the oxygen levels are returning to normal, the River Authority is closing the SASPAMCO paddling trail, which begins in Southern Bexar County and extends into Wilson County. Additionally, River Crossing Park will be closed along with the lower sections of Graytown and Helton Nature Park.
Please be advised that the water supply will be temporarily shut down for maintenance purposes on April 17th at 11 am. This procedure will impact the sinks, water fountain, and the hose spigot located outside the back door of the Education Center. We anticipate that the process will take no more than a few hours to complete. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
The west bank of the San Pedro Creek trail will be closed from the access point at Commerce St south to Dolorosa until further notice due to maintenance work. Alternate route w/ ADA access is on the east bank trail that can be accessed either from the Commerce or Dolorosa crossing.
Restrooms along S. Alamo will be under construction and closed until further notice.
The SASPAMCO paddling trail is now open from River Crossing Park to Helton Nature Park.
*Please Note: Paddling Trail from Helton Nature Park to HWY 97 is still closed due to blockages.*
