16th annual Grease Collection and Recycling event is January 9th

Start off the new year right by taking your leftover holiday grease to the 16th annual Grease Collection and Recycling Event. Six collection sites will be open to accept fats, oils, and grease stored in containers on Saturday, Jan. 9, from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. The Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department (RWRD) reminds you that these items from your kitchen should never be poured down the drain. They can be recycled into biodiesel, a cleaner-burning fuel. Follow the links below for more information and drop-off locations. To ensure the volunteers and community participants remain safe during the pandemic, you’re asked to wear a mask when dropping off grease containers. You can also take grease, fats, and oils to the City of Tucson’s Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) program. Follow the HHW link below for the address and hours.
