Disposal Prep
- Grease and oil should be separated into different containers and be free from contaminants such as fuels, solvents, or water.
- Cooking oil should be liquid and free of food debris.
Prevent Sewer Backups
Never put Fats, Oils or Grease (FOG) down the drain. Deposit these materials in the trash.
- Do not plant deep rooted trees over or immediately adjacent to sewer service pipes.
- Do not flush any non-flushable items. Follow the Three P’s rule when it comes to what you can safely flush – flush only pee, poop and (toilet) paper.
- Periodically have your sewer service pipe video inspected by a reputable company and clean the pipe when necessary.
- Do no place valuable personal property on the floor close to a floor drain. Store personal items at least a few inches off the floor or place inside plastic tubs to protect them in the case of a backup.
