The Wastewater and Treatment Education Roundtable, an educational partnership between the North Central Texas Council of Governments, municipalities and water utilities in the North Texas region, will conduct the eighth annual Holiday Grease Roundup from November 22 through January 10, 2022. Residents can drop off used fats, oils and grease (FOG) free of charge to be recycled.

When FOG is poured down the drain, it hardens and builds up over time, leading to clogged pipes that are inconvenient and costly to repair, and even result in sewage backups into homes or sewage overflowing into streets and local waterways. If the sewer overflows, city crews shut down streets, tying up traffic and increasing expenses for both residents and the city.
