Frying A Turkey; Recycle Your Oil
The City of Smyrna wants your used cooking oil. The used oil will be made into biodiesel fuel for the City’s vehicles, and recycling is so easy for you.
Smyrna residents may recycle the used oil by putting it in a plastic milk jug with a screw top and leaving the jug at the curb on their recycling day. Free containers are also available from any of the drop-off locations listed below. Non-residents and residents may bring filled containers to the Smyrna Recycling Center at 3475 Lake Drive, the Smyrna Public Works Department at 2190 Atlanta Road, or the Smyrna Fire Stations on Atlanta Road, South Cobb Drive, Concord Road or Park Drive.
Biodiesel fuel burns much cleaner than petro diesel, which keeps the air in our community cleaner. It also helps to clean the engines, saves the City money in fuel costs and helps us to be less dependent on foreign oil. Please, never pour oil down the drain. This will cause clogging in your pipes and cost you expensive repairs.
Additional information can be found at the City’s website, www.smyrnacity.com or by calling Smyrna Public Works Department at 770-431-2850 or Keep Smyrna Beautiful at 770-431-2863.
