Don’t Forget to “Cease the Grease”; Collection Underway through Dec. 5 

1260 Columbia Dr.
Cost: Free
Now through Dec. 5
Open 24 hours  

Help our water system stay clog-free (and save yourself hundreds of dollars in plumbing bills) by avoiding pouring leftover holiday cooking oil and grease down the drain–instead, bring it to the City’s temporary oil/grease drop-off site, near the southwest corner of the parking lot of the Service Center, 1260 Columbia Drive (Glenville Drive and Columbia Drive). Bring cooled oil/grease in rigid plastic containers with screw-top lids (the container the oil came in may work) and simply drive up, place the container(s) in the collection bin and drive off. (DO NOT POUR oil/grease out.)  

The City partners with Texas-based American BioSource to collect the oil/grease, which is recycled into biofuels such as biodiesel and biogas.
