Kitchen Funnel to Help Recycle Used Cooking Oil – Irving residents can help ensure the wastewater system remains in the best possible condition by not disposing of fats, oils and grease down a drain or in a toilet. This is the largest contributor to sewer backups which endangers our creeks, rivers and other water bodies. These cooking byproducts should be recycled or disposed as a solid waste item during weekly collections.
Once the oil is cool, carefully pour or scrape the oil into a container no larger than 5 gallons and apply a tight-fitting, screw-top lid. Call (972) 721-2232 for curbside collection.
Free, plastic, kitchen funnels are available at City Hall to assist residents in pouring oil into containers for recycling. There is a limit of one per household. Call (972) 721-2772.
