Recycling of Cooking Oils & Grease

The NRH Public Works Department will collect used cooking oils and grease for recycling Dec. 8 – 11 and Jan. 5 -8. This program is for residential kitchens only and excludes commercial users. Containers holding discarded cooking oil and grease must be made of plastic and have a screw top lid. Call 817-427-6457 or email tngo@nrhtx.com to schedule a pick-up.

What do arteries and sewer pipes have in common? They both can get clogged by fats, oils, and grease (what we call FOG). Clogged sewer pipes cause backups of untreated sewage into homes. That’s a mess you don’t want to clean up. 

Prevention is the best medicine. Instead of washing FOG down the drain, take a paper towel and wipe any excess off your pans or pour it into a container. Once filled, the container can be recycled. Just call our FOG pick-up line at 817-427-6457 or email tngo@nrhtx.com and we’ll schedule a pick-up for you.
