SAVE YOUR PIPES THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

Our crews notice more clogged pipes and pumps throughout the holiday season due to additional grease poured down the drains. Fats, oils, and grease (F.O.G) come from meats, butter and margarine, lard, food scraps, sauces, salad dressings, dairy products, and cooking oil. When F.O.G. is warm, it's easy to pour down the drain, but as it cools, it hardens and can cause sewer pipes to clog. This may lead to raw sewage backing up in your home and harming public infrastructure.

How to properly dispose of F.O.G.:

Here are some simple steps you can take to stop this problem:

  • Allow fat, oils, and grease to cool and solidify in an aluminum can, then dispose of it in your garbage.
  • Use a paper towel to wipe off greasy dishes to remove build-up before rinsing or placing them in the dishwasher.

Don't let a plumbing disaster spoil this holiday season. Regarding fats, oils, and grease: Can it, Cool it, and Throw it away! For more information, go to nwwsd.org.
