SacSewer has put out an APB on a dangerous gang of pipe invaders
called “The SacTown Clog Squad,” last seen clogging pipes and
causing sewage overflows with fats, oils, and grease (F.O.G.) in
the Sacramento region!
Common sources of F.O.G. include fatty food scraps, meat, butter
or margarine, milk and dairy products, cooking oils, salad
dressings, sauces and, marinades. Put these troublemakers out of
business by properly disposing of F.O.G. with these two easy
steps:
-
Can it: Once cooled, put hardened fats, oils
and grease into a sturdy container—like a leftover soup can.
Then, put the container in the garbage.
-
Scrape it: Scrape all food scraps, including
fatty and greasy leftovers, into the Organics cart, NOT down
the drain.
Pro tip! For used cooking oil—like what’s needed
for deep-frying—check with your local waste service provider for
proper disposal.
Don’t let these misfits become a pain in the drain!
MOST WANTED
If you encounter Fatty Food Scraps in your kitchen,
scrape all food scraps, including fatty and greasy leftovers,
into the Organics cart, NOT down the drain.
If you come in contact with Oily Slug, pour any oil
into its original container or another leak-proof container and
put it in the garbage.
Warm water, dish detergent, and food disposals are no
match for Greasy Gunkster! Pour leftover grease into a sturdy
container—like a leftover soup can. Then, put the container in
the garbage.
