FOG - Fats, Oils, and Grease
Fats, oils and grease! In the cold weather, these can set up quite quickly in the sanitary sewer system. Cooking oil and animal fat clogs are a major cause of sewer backups in the City! Cleanup after a sanitary sewer backup can be costly to a home-owner, property owner and the City.
Dispose of fats, oils and grease in the trash. Collect pan drippings in a can and allow them to solidify, then put the can in the daily trash. This will help decrease the possibility of a sewer clog or backup.
