Recycle Used Cooking Oil & Grease
Enjoy the Feast – Recycle the Grease
When cleaning up from your feasts, remember to properly dispose of your cooking oil, grease, & other food leftovers. Once cool, pour cooking oil, meat fats, and other grease into a container with a lid. Pasta jars, old cans, or the original grease/oil containers work great! Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) buildup in pipes can cause major damage to sewer collection system pipes and pumps which can lead to sewer backups.
