If your holiday food preparations end up generating more cooking grease than usual, or you have unused or unwanted cooking oil, don't poor it down the drain or dump it into the stormdrains! Go to Too Toxic To Trash page for proper disposal of cooking oil and grease. While there, take a look at how to properly dispose of household hazardous waste, such as chemicals, fertilizers, and automotive fluids! Clean water starts with you!
