Properly dispose of fats, oils and grease during the holidays


Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) is the residue left over from cooking meat, butter, sauces, oil and dairy products. FOG and debris poured down drains can cause expensive sewer backups to homeowners. Used holiday cooking oil may be recycled for free at the Dallas County Home Chemical Collection Center, or at a drop-off location listed on the Defend Your Drains website at www.defendyourdrainsnorthtexas.com. For more information about FOG, visit, www.cityofmesquite.com/FOG.
