When the holiday feast is finished, don’t pour fats, oils and grease, i.e., FOG, down the drain.
FOG, including sauces, gravy and salad dressings, can trap solids, form hard deposits and clog pipes, causing basement backups, sewer overflows and costly damage to city infrastructure and private property.
Before washing dishes, scrape food and grease into a trash can, use a paper towel to wipe away oil, or pour FOG into an empty can, let it cool to solidify and dispose of it.
Don’t Let a Clog Become an Unwanted Holiday Guest
