Save Your Pipes This Holiday Season

Throughout the holiday season, our crews notice more clogged pipes and pumps 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 FOG 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 may harm 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 and 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. When it comes to fats, oils, and grease: Can it, Cool it, and Throw it away! For more information, go to nwwsd.org.
