South Platte Renew’s free Grease & Oil Takeback event is Dec. 5 from 9 am to 12 pm. 

Residents can bring used cooking grease and automotive oil for safe, easy, free disposal. The event helps protect home plumbing and vital water treatment infrastructure through responsible disposal of grease and oil. 

What You Can Bring:

• Used cooking grease and oils (liquid form, free of food debris)
• Used automotive oil (free from contaminants like fuel, solvents, or water)
• Up to 10 gallons per household

By properly disposing of grease and oil, you’re helping prevent costly plumbing repairs, protecting our community’s sewer infrastructure, and safeguarding our environment from harmful contamination. When these materials are poured down drains, they can create severe blockages and “fatbergs” that threaten both home plumbing and public wastewater systems.

Important Notes:

• This free service is available to all residents within the South Platte Renew service area
• Please keep cooking grease and automotive oil in separate containers
• Materials from commercial businesses, oil filters, antifreeze, or other chemicals will not be accepted
