Prevent grease blockages in your pipes
Fats (butter), oils (olive, corn, canola, vegetable) and grease can clog pipes and create a disgusting mess at home and in your neighborhood. A slow draining sink may be a sign of a clogged pipe. If your pipes are clogged, be sure to:
- ??‹??‹Wipe all frying pans with a paper towel to remove oil before washing (make sure to throw paper towel away)
- Pour leftover cooking grease and oils in a jar and wait until solid to throw away
??‹Cleaning up sewer overflows caused by fats, oils and grease accumulations costs thousands of dollars and may harm the environment. For more tips on how to have a grease free holiday, visit charlottewater.org??‹.
