Holiday frying leaves many Dallas kitchens with a jug of used oil, and the city already has a network of places to drop it off at no charge. Dallas Water Utilities is a partner in this season's regional Holiday Grease Roundup, and its cooking oil recycling stations are listed on the program's 2026 drop-off map.
