Holiday food waste disposal tips

This holiday season, avoid attracting pests and paying for expensive plumbing repairs by properly disposing of food waste. Put trash out the day of your trash collection instead of letting it sit out. Consider freezing your food waste until collection day. Also, scrape cooled grease or fat into the trash, or pour it into a closed-lid container and throw away. Residents may recycle used cooking oil for free at the City of Mesquite Convenience Center, 3550 Lawson Road. Learn more at www.cityofmesquite.com/FOG.
