Used Cooking Oil Collection
Saturday, November 25, 2023 | 9:00 am - 12:00 pm | Map It
Did you fry a turkey for Thanksgiving? Recycle the oil!
As part of an annual, one-day event, select towns will be collecting used, liquid vegetable-based cooking oil to be recycled into biodiesel. This is a one-day event with the goal to make it easier for residents to properly dispose of their leftover or expired liquid cooking oil with temporary drop-off locations.
All cooking oil must be dropped off in a sealed container. Containers will not be returned.
No bacon grease or other solid animal fats will be accepted. Vegetable-based oil only.
