GOT 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.
