Holiday Grease Roundup

Recycle your Used Cooking Oil for a Good Cause

Don't pour your Thanksgiving grease down the drain—recycle it for free!

Thanksgiving is a time for delicious fried turkeys, buttery dishes, and savory gravies, but these tasty treats can wreak havoc on your plumbing. When fats, oils, and grease (FOG) are poured down the drain, they stick to the inside of pipes, gradually hardening and building up until they cause major clogs and sewer backups. This can lead to sewage overflows into homes, streets, and waterways, resulting in costly and inconvenient repairs. Overflowing sewers can also force city crews to shut down streets, causing traffic disruptions and additional expenses for residents and municipalities.

Join the 2024 Holiday Grease Roundup!

Instead of pouring your grease down the drain, participate in the Holiday Grease Roundup and recycle it for free! The 2024 HGR kicks off Monday, November 18, 2024, and runs through Friday, January 10, 2025.

Dozens of municipalities have teamed up with the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG), the Wastewater And Treatment Education Roundtable (WATER), and American BioSource to safeguard our sewer systems and protect the environment. Many municipalities will provide additional drop-off locations or highlight their existing services for your convenience. The collected cooking oil and grease will be recycled into biodiesel or biogas, which not only helps reduce landfill waste, but also creates a clean and green alternative fuel.

Find Your Nearest Drop-off Location

For specific drop-off locations or to learn more about city services, check out the map below.

(This is a used cooking oil and grease collection only; used motor oil should be taken to a household hazardous waste location or an automotive supply store.)

The Holiday Grease Roundup is supported by the NCTCOG Wastewater and Treatment Education Roundtable’s (WATER) annual Work Program. For more information on WATER’s activities, please visit their committee website.
