Dallas Water Utilities teams with Dallas Housing Authority
for Cease the Grease events Saturday and Monday.

Dallas - Residents at several Dallas Housing Authority (DHA) communities will have a chance to help the environment and prevent clogged pipes and sewer lines this weekend. The DHA and the Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) Cease the Grease program will host used cooking oil collection and recycling events tomorrow and Monday.

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, DWU crews will collect used cooking oil at the Lakewest Family YMCA, 3737 Goldman Ave.; Fish Trap Lake DHA community; the Hamptons at Lakewest and the Lakeview Townhomes. From 3 to 4 p.m. Monday, crews will be at the Frazier Townhome Community, 4846 Hatcher and from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Roseland Townhome Community Center, 3535 Munger Ave.

“Used cooking oil collected at DHA events, along with oil dropped off at collection stations throughout the city is taken to the Southside Wastewater Treatment Plant, converted to methane gas, and used to help generate power for wastewater treatment,” said Helen Cantril Dulac with the City of Dallas Grease Abatement program.
