Cooking Oil Collection

As part of an annual, one-day event, select towns will be collecting used, liquid cooking oil (no bacon grease or other solid animal fats) to be recycled into biodiesel.

All cooking oil must be dropped off in a sealed container. Containers will not be returned.
No bacon grease or other solid animal fats will be accepted. Vegetable-based oil only.

This event is sponsored by SCARCE every year on the Saturdayafter Thanksgiving. Go to Thanksgiving Cooking Oil Collection page to learn more about why it is important to drop off the oil (rather than put it down any drain). There are also 10 drop-off locations around DuPage County.
