More than 125 gallons of used cooking oil was collected during the City’s annual “Cease the Grease” collection event held Nov. 21-Dec. 3. Richardson’s Health Department collaborated with American BioSource to provide free collection in an effort to help divert holiday cooking oil from being poured down kitchen drains. Grease and oil discarded down the drain can create a buildup in sewer pipes, which can cause unwanted wastewater backup.
