November 1 - January 31 is the Holiday Grease Roundup!

The Holiday Grease Roundup is a seasonal program to collect FOG (fats, oils, and grease) from home kitchens. When poured down the drain, FOG clogs pipes, damages sewer systems, and pollutes our waterways. Instead of pouring it down the drain, bring it to a drop-off site for safe disposal and recycling.

Who Can Participate?
All North Texas residents are welcome! Whether you’re frying a turkey or cooking up a feast, you can recycle your grease! It’s free, easy, and helps keep our community clean.

When is the Roundup?
The Roundup runs November 1 through January 31. Drop off your grease at any time during this period.

Where Can I Drop Off My Grease?
Bring your cooled, sealed containers of grease to Princeton Public Works – 255 E. Monte Carlo Boulevard, or any of the dropoff locations across North Texas:https://www.defendyourdrainsnorthtexas.com/docs/DropoffLocations.pdf

Why During the Holidays?
The holidays are full of delicious meals – and lots of leftover grease. This is the perfect time to protect your home and the environment by recycling it instead of pouring it down the drain.

Your winter water use could affect your wastewater bill next year!

From November 15 through February 15, the City looks at your household's water use during a period called Winter Quarter Averaging (WQA).

Why Winter?
During the summer, some of the water you use goes toward things like watering your lawn or filling a pool. That water doesn't enter the wastewater system. In the winter, there's usually less outdoor water use, so your water bill gives us a better idea of how much water your household sends into the wastewater system.

The City uses this three-month average to help calculate your monthly wastewater charges for the upcoming year.

A few things to keep in mind:
• Fix dripping faucets and running toilets.
• Run your dishwasher and washing machine with full loads.
• Avoid unnecessary outdoor watering.
• Keep an eye out for leaks around your home.

Extra water use during this time can raise your average and potentially increase your wastewater charges next year.

Your water use now can make a difference later!

Once Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) harden in your pipes, they can create stubborn clogs and cause backups. As you bake your favorite pumpkin pie, cookies, or other fall treat, make sure to properly dispose of FOG.

🔸Put liquid oil and grease in a sealable container and put it in the trash.
🔸Remove leftover grease from pans with a paper towel after it has cooled.
🔸Avoid using the garbage disposal and put all food in the trash.
🔸Rinse greasy dishes with cold water before putting them in the dishwasher.
🔸Filter, freeze, and reuse cooking oils.

The City of Princeton Public Works accepts used cooking oil year-round! Please filter the cooking oil and bring it in a covered container.

The Keep Princeton Beautiful and Keep Texas Beautiful annual Fall Sweep was a great success! 🍂

Last Saturday, 29 students from Princeton High School's NJROTC program joined us in cleaning up Veterans Memorial Park under the leadership of their instructor, Mr. Max Velasquez.

Together, the students collected an estimated 350 pounds of litter and debris, making a meaningful contribution to the appearance and cleanliness of our community. Their participation reflects the importance of youth leadership, environmental stewardship, and community service.

Thank you for helping us Keep Princeton Beautiful!
