Don’t Dump Thanksgiving Oils and Grease. Recycle!
Dickens in Downtown Plano DEC 2 Ugly Sweater Litter Cleanup DEC 2 Plano.gov/Cleanup
Don’t let fats, oils and grease (FOG) cost you money over the holidays. With all of the extra cooking this season, take the opportunity from Thanksgiving through the New Year to recycle FOG instead of dumping it down the drain. Here’s what you need to know: • Don't dump cooking fats, oils or grease down your sink drain. This can plug your pipes causing sewer water to back up into your house or your neighborhood. • Use cold water to rinse pots and pans. • Collect small amounts of used, cooled cooking oil in a sturdy, plastic container with a screw-top lid. When the container is full, put it in the trash cart. • Schedule a free pickup for 1 or more gallons of cooking or turkey fryer oil. Just collect it in a container and call Environmental Waste Services to recycle it into bio-diesel fuel. • Pour fats and grease into a container to harden. Trash it when full. • Soak up small amounts of fats, oils or grease from pots and pans with a paper towel, then toss the towel in the trash.
