\n\tStanton’s local leadership has led the way for recycling cooking oil used in the city' residential community.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tThe city of Stanton, the Orange County Sanitation District, and local waste recycling company CR&R have teamed up to provide a program to recycle F.O.G. fats, oil, and grease that has been clogging up our residential sewers and county sewer systems. <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tThis program not only reduces the cost of having to call out a local plumber but saves thousands of dollars in sewer line costs to the OC Sanitation District.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tThere is also an important environmental benefit to the community. The cooking oil that is collected is processed into biofuels for trash trucks, street sweepers and school buses. The question of why do we need to recycle cooking oil grease is simple. Cooking grease poured into a kitchen drain will clog pipes in homes and any city sewer system.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tRecycling cooking oil in the city of Stanton is free and easy. To participate in the program, residents can arrange a curbside delivery of a recycling container by simply calling CR&R Environmental Services. Residents then pour cool, used cooking oil and grease into the container. Once filled, residents schedule a curbside pick-up on their normal collection day by calling CR&R Environmental Services, and a clean cooking oil container is left in exchange for their continued use.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tThe City Council of Stanton along with staff has begun to implement the new program cooperatively working with CR&R. The containers were furnished by the Orange County Sanitation District and to date over 250 residents have received their containers and over 80 gallons of future biofuels have been collected.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tMayor David Shawver, Mayor Pro-Tem Al Ethans and Council members Brian Donahue, Carol Warren and Rigoberto Ramirez were instrumental  <\/span>in supporting and implementing Stanton's "Cease the Grease Program," believed to be the first of its kind in the environmental friendly State of California.<\/o:p><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tThe Stanton City Council hopes the pioneering recycling program will spread throughout Orange County and to all cities in the State of California. Stanton’s Cease the Grease Program shows that local leadership can create and deliver local programs that will benefit local communities such as Stanton. <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tWe are the stewards of our Orange County sewer system and this saves local tax payer’s dollars by protecting our environment and reducing sewer maintenance cost as we “Cease the Grease” city wide.<\/o:p><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tThe kickoff was highlighted with a ribbon cutting ceremony and among the dignitaries attending were State Senator Lou Correa, Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva, Board Chairman of the Orange County Sanitation District Troy Edgar, Mr. Cliff Ronnenberg Chairman\/CEO CR&R, David Ronnenberg, president of CR&R, James Herberg, the director of the Orange County Sanitation District and Irantzu Pujadas from Congressman Alan Lowenthal’s office.<\/o:p><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n
