Frying a Turkey for Thanksgiving?
If you plan to fry a turkey this Thanksgiving, plan also to recycle the used cooking oil at our Metro Hazardous Waste Drop-Off. We’ve partnered with Mid-Iowa Renewables, which recycles cooking oil from local businesses. Because of our relationship withthis company, we are able provide this free recycling outlet to residents, as well.
Acceptance Guidelines![]()
You can recycle canola, peanut and vegetable oil year-round. Grease is not accepted. The oil collected is reused to support the local biodiesel industry.
Drop-Off Hours & Location
Tuesday to Friday: 1 to 5 p.m.
Saturdays: 8 a.m. to Noon (first and third Saturdays of the month)
Metro Hazardous Waste Drop-Off (just a half-mile north of I-80 at the Adventureland exit)
