FOG - Residential

What can you do to prevent grease build-up in sewer lines?

• NEVER pour grease down sink or into toilets. Pour grease into a cup or some type of storage container and dispose of in trash.
  
  
• Scrape food scraps from plates, utensils, pans, etc. into trash before rinsing in sink.
  
  
• Use strainers in sink drains to catch food scraps and dispose in trash or compost pile. Garbage disposals DO NOT keep grease out of sewer lines.
  
  
• Spread the word! Notify friends and neighbors of the damaging effects of fats, oils, and grease in our sewer systems.
