THE SCOOP ON GREASE!:
Cooking for the Holidays? Be sure to properly dispose of
grease! Don't put grease down those drains! Grease, oil, and fat clog pipes and
sewer lines just as they block arteries, so flushing them down the drain can be
disastrous. Blocked sewer lines cause
serious problems, eventually resulting in overflows and potentially causing
health hazards, damage to home interiors, and adverse impacts to the
environment. Cleaning up after such a mess is not how you want to spend your
holidays! To protect your property, the environment, and avoid a costly bill.
Never put grease, oil, or fat down the drain! Instead, strain excess grease
from pots/pans into a separate container for disposal and scrape grease and
food scraps from plates into the trash. For more information please call
912-767-2010.
