Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2024 Holiday Grease Roundup! Your efforts in recycling used cooking oil and grease helped protect our sewer systems and reduce environmental waste, making a positive impact in the North Texas region.

Results from the 2024 Roundup

We are pleased to report that with the combined efforts of municipalities and residents 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, we collected 9,080 gallons of used cooking oil and grease. This grease will be recycled into biodiesel or biogas, providing a clean and sustainable alternative fuel.

Your participation helps prevent potential plumbing issues and harmful environmental effects caused by the grease being poured down the drain.
