Residential Cooking Oil and Grease Drop-Off Program
Not sure what to do with used cooking oil and grease? Thinking of
frying a turkey for the holidays? Never wash cooking fats, oil or grease down
the drain, as they can cause your sewer line to back up into your home, streets
and storm drains that flow to the Bay. Recycle it instead at an EBMUD
residential cooking oil and grease drop-off location. No commercial
kitchens please. Fifteen (15) gallons per person maximum. Do not
mix with automotive wastes.
These locations may also accept other household hazardous wastes -- check the links below for hours, directions and what other wastes are accepted. Remember to keep all wastes in separate containers -- never mix different substances.
Check our frequently asked questions to learn more about cooking oil and grease disposal. For other ways to help protect San Francisco Bay from pollution, see our residential pollution prevention page.
