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.
