fight the Fat! get over the Oil! Cease the Grease! What do you do after cooking with lots of oil, such as when deep frying? Pouring the oil down the drain or toilet will cause clogs down the line, literally, since oil thickens when it cools and does not mix with water. Pouring it in the garbage can make quite the mess, as well. Did you know that residual grease exist even when you are not frying? Although, as a society, we are trying to eat less fried food, the foods we eat have fat which when cooked yields grease and oil. In fact, the chart below describes the oil yields from some of the common foods we consume. Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) improperly disposed in the sanitary sewer system or storm drain system can cause property damage, health hazards and environmental problems. Pouring cooking oil and grease into kitchen sinks, floor drains or toilets can be costly to homeowners, the City, and the environment. Oil and grease rinsed down the plumbing system builds up and can eventually block the entire pipe causing sewer back ups and overflows (Sanitary Sewer Overflows). |
