The city is beckoning residents to not pour their cooking oil and grease remnants down the drain but rather to bring them over to the Cease the Grease event. Channeling the holiday spirit of giving, Carrollton offers this service for free, providing sanctuary for all those leftover fats that flow in our kitchens. So, march down to the City of Carrollton Central Service Center on Nimitz Lane and make those pipes sing hymns of cleanliness. The opportunity is up for grabs until 6:00 p.m. today, having started at a bright 8 a.m. on Monday, according to the City of Carrollton, Texas.
Those who have snagged the chance to swing by since Monday have helped to quickly diminish the risk of plumbing calamities exponentially. The act of scraping grease into a can rather than the sink, as explained by the city, "will keep it out of the sewer system and prevent damage to drainpipes as well as the environment." To not shrug off this advice means to prevent a convoy of consequences, from backed-up home systems to unsightly sewage overflows that can rudely inundate parks, yards, or streets—all shared spaces that merit our collective respect and protection, per the City of Carrollton, Texas.
The yearly tradition dubbed Cease the Grease, now in its 15th triumphant year, has been assisted by Metro Grease Service for a solid five. If residents still need to discard that grease in an environmentally friendly way, they don’t have to longingly wait until next year. Additional opportunities for grease recycling are available through January 8, thus providing a longer period to ensure both your pipes and the environment stay free of fatty harm.
