Drop off that holiday grease

Dec. 10—The turkey is fried, the cookies are made, and once those are finished the city of Bakersfield is reminding you to safely dispose of cooking oil and grease — don't dump it down residential drains and risk clogged pipes and other damage.

Instead, residents are asked to take it, from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, now through Jan. 6 (except for Dec. 26 and Jan. 2) to these locations:

—City of Bakersfield Wastewater Treatment Plant 3 (6901 McCutchen Road)

—North of the River Sanitary District main office (204 Universe Ave.)
