Princeton is a listed partner in this season's regional Holiday Grease Roundup, with a drop-off at 255 E. Monte Carlo Blvd., according to the program's 2026 map.

The site is open daily from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The map asks that oil be filtered and brought in a covered container.

Why it matters

Cooled grease hardens inside pipes and can clog home plumbing or cause sewer overflows, according to the North Central Texas Council of Governments, which runs the regional program. Collected oil is recycled into fuels such as biodiesel. Let it cool, seal it in a lidded container, and keep motor oil out of it.

The roundup runs through Jan. 31, 2027, at 68 sites across North Texas. Our Fort Worth edition has the regional overview: https://fortworthweekly.news/article/holiday-grease-roundup-is-underway-with-free-cooking-oil-drop-off-through-jan-31
