Used turkey-fryer oil and bacon grease from holiday cooking can go to Frisco's Environmental Collection Center instead of down the drain. The city is a listed partner in this season's regional Holiday Grease Roundup, and the center at 6616 Walnut St. is its drop-off site on the program's 2026 map.
Hours
The map lists the center as open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Many partner cities ask for proof of residence, so bring a utility bill or ID.
Why it matters
Cooled grease hardens inside pipes and can clog home plumbing or cause sewer overflows, according to the North Central Texas Council of Governments, which runs the regional program. Collected oil is recycled into fuels such as biodiesel. Let it cool, seal it in a lidded container, and keep motor oil out of it.
The roundup runs through Jan. 31, 2027, at 68 sites across North Texas. Our Fort Worth edition has the regional overview: https://fortworthweekly.news/article/holiday-grease-roundup-is-underway-with-free-cooking-oil-drop-off-through-jan-31
