Pima County will be hosting the 13th Annual Grease Collection and Recycling Event on Saturday, January 6.
Th event will give residents an opportunity to start the New Year off right by dropping off your used cooking oil and grease.
Get out and recycle your grease!! You can at locations all over town today. It gets turned into biodiesel, and doesn’t get poured down drains which is a big no-no! @kgun9 pic.twitter.com/QNj3wChAVm
