The purpose of the Fats, Oils and Grease Control program is to reduce sewer line overflows by regulating what businesses that prepare or serve food discharge into the wastewater system. Residents can also help keep sewer lines functioning properly while protecting their plumbing systems from grease accumulation.

Residential Cooking Oil Curbside Collection and Recycling Program
The Town’s full-time Residential Waste Cooking Oil Disposal Program launched July 1, 2009 and is designed to give Cary residents an opportunity to properly dispose of cooking oil and grease by requesting a special collection. The used cooking oil and grease will be picked up at the curb and recycled into an environmentally beneficial bio-fuel. Get details.
