CAN THE GREASE©

Little Rock Water Reclamation Authority is taking a major step toward a cleaner, more environmentally friendly future with our FREE Can the Grease© program. We launched this initiative to help educate customers on the proper disposal of cooking grease and oils—one of the leading causes of sewer line blockages and non-capacity overflows. Through Can the Grease, residents receive an aluminum collection can with heat-resistant liners to dispose of household grease and oils safely. All materials are provided at no cost to the public.

How It Started

The program began on Friday, July 19, 2002, with door-to-door distribution in four strategic Little Rock neighborhoods most in need of grease-relief solutions. Each kit includes:

  • A Can the Grease collection can
  • Three heat-resistant liners
  • A magnet with a number to call for free liner refills
  • A brochure on preventing grease buildup in sewer lines
How It Works

Cooking at home creates grease—pouring it down the drain can clog pipes

and cause sewer backups. With Can the Grease©, the fix is easy as 1-2-3:

1. Cook It

Make your meal as usual—just let your cooking grease cool instead of pouring

it down the drain.

2. Can It

Pour the cooled grease into your free Can the Grease© can lined with a

heat-resistant bag.

3. Trash It

When the liner is full, tie it up and toss it in the trash. Replace with a fresh liner and

you’re good to go.
