RESIDENTIAL COOKING OIL
DROP-OFF RECYCLING
Did you know that cooking oil
and grease are recyclable and should not be discarded down the drain, NOR
should they be disposed of in landfills in liquid form?
Dumping grease, fats, and oil can clog sewer lines, causing sewage back-ups
and flooding. Sewage back-ups can damage personal and public property. In
addition, free flowing liquids should NEVER be placed in a landfill.
-
York County has added cooking
oil recycling
-
Residents only (no commercial establishments) may now bring up to five
gallons per visit
- Valley
Proteins will collect the used oil for use in the production of protein
meals, animal feed and a substitute fuel.
For more information on
additional services available and for special bulk collections,
call the Waste Management Center at 890-3780.
