Stop and think! Not down the sink!
Cooking fats, oils and grease (FOG) cause problems if they are put down the drain:
• Clogged pipes
• Reduced plumbing flow
• Odours
• Sewer backups
• Damage to Cranbrook’s wastewater collection and treatment systems
Keep these items out of your sinks, drains or toilets:
• Fats: Butter, margarine, dairy, meat, etc
• Oils: Salad dressings, cooking or deep fryer oils, olive oil, sauces, etc
• Grease: Chicken, hamburgers, bacon, etc
Keep fats, oils and grease out of your drain by following these easy tips in the kitchen:
• Residential amounts (two litres or less) of fats, oils and grease should be put in your solid waste or can be used for composting
• Always wipe cooking equipment and scrape dishes before washing
