Prevent sewer backups after Thanksgiving
The day after Thanksgiving is the biggest day of the year for sewer backups! Fats, oil, and grease sent down the drain during Thanksgiving meal preparation and cleanup contribute to this.
- Fat and grease disposal: "Can it, cool it, throw it away!" See detailed instructions for fats and grease from the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission.
- Cooking oil recycling: Bring your used cooking oil to the Shady Grove Solid Waste Transfer Station. Recycle empty cooking oil bottles in your blue bin. See cooking oil recycling details on our website.
We've updated our list of holiday light string recycling opportunities.
Request a bulk trash pickup to dispose of artificial Christmas trees (or offer usable trees for reuse). We accept cut Christmas trees year-round as yard trim. See Christmas tree recycling and disposal details.
