Lewisville is actively participating in the 11th annual North Texas Holiday Grease Roundup, a program designed to collect used cooking oil from residents. The initiative aims to prevent clogged sewer systems, which can result from improper disposal of grease, leading to significant repair costs for municipalities. By recycling used cooking oil, Lewisville residents can contribute to the production of biodiesel and biogas, promoting sustainable energy sources. The Holiday Grease Roundup coincides with the Thanksgiving season, a time when cooking oil usage increases, making this initiative particularly timely and necessary. Community involvement in such environmental programs is essential, as it fosters a culture of responsibility and sustainability.

Local officials emphasize that proper disposal methods not only protect the environment but also enhance overall community health. As more residents participate, the program's impact on reducing waste and encouraging recycling becomes increasingly significant. This collaborative effort showcases Lewisville's commitment to environmental protection and sustainable practices, setting an example for other municipalities.
