Proper Disposal of Fats, Oils and Grease |
Whether you’re pan frying the morning bacon or deep frying the holiday bird, you always have leftover fat, oil or grease. We partnered with Louisville MSD to spread the word that the slippery mess should never be poured into a sink, toilet or storm drain where it can lead to plumbing or sewer problems and foul local waterways.
Fat and grease left over from routine pan frying can be disposed of with other residential garbage if handled properly. Just pour the grease into a container that has a lid, let it cool, and place it in the trash. That keeps it out of local waterways and sewers.
Recycle that cooking oil! Watch this video to learn how!
Louisville’s full-service recycling centers accept household cooking oil left over from deep frying. It’s free and easy for residents of Louisville and Jefferson County. Residents should first let the oil cool, then strain out food particles and pour the oil into a container that has a lid. Take it to the nearest full-service recycling center and hand it to a staff member.
The city has partnered with the private firm Oil Tech to collect the oil. The company recycles the used cooking oil for use in biodiesel fuel.
To find a drop-off location near you, go to louisvilleky.gov/recycling.

Gloria did great on a recent field trip to Cherokee Park. She was good in the car and she’s easy to leash walk. Gloria also loves giving and receiving affection and does well with older children. Gloria’s adoption fee is waived for an approved adopter thanks to the Pay It Forward Program. She weighs about 50lbs and she’s already spayed, microchipped and vaccinated.
