FRYER OIL RECYCLING - Saturday, Nov 30th from 7 am-1 pm

With Thanksgiving comes an influx of cooking and fryer oil. To prevent these items from going into the landfill or down the drain, Royal Oak Sustainability will offer a one-day Fryer Oil Drop-off on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. 

Royal Oak Sustainability will have a special oil dumpster on site to recycle cooking oils. We can accept all types of "plant-based" oils, including vegetable, corn, peanut, olive, etc. Items like bacon fat, grease, and fried food remnants can go into the composting bins but not the oil dumpster. Cooking oils need to be in liquid form and filtered to remove contaminants.

Did you know you can put your pumpkins in your yard waste collection? Pumpkins are considered raw fruits and vegetables, and SOCRRA can take them. Please dispose of them curbside via your yard waste, not at the Farmers Market. We will take your pumpkins if you do not have curbside yard waste collection. 

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

More Dates have been added! We need volunteers to help answer questions about our composting program and sustainability on Saturday mornings at the farmers market.  It is a fun way to get to know your neighbors and help keep food scraps out of landfills. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP.
