Get rid of greasy foods without clogging your pipes


Did you know that soap, detergent and bleach only temporarily cut the grease left behind from food scraps? Fat, oil and grease eventually attach to the walls of sewer pipes, and that build-up of grease in pipes is the number one cause of sewage spills.


Dispose of fat, oil and grease properly: n


n


Scrape uneaten food and sauces into the trash before washing the dishes or placing them in the dishwasher.


Wipe cooking pan residue with a paper towel before washing and throw the towel in the trash.


n


Mix small amounts of fat, oil and grease with absorbent waste, such as kitty litter, coffee grounds or paper towels before discarding.


n Dispose of fat, oil and grease into a plastic container. n


Dispose of used cooking oil responsibly and free at a household hazardous waste facility. Call Waste Management at 760-929-9400 for information.
