What happens when you put fats, oils and grease (FOG) down the sink or toilet? When they cool, they form blockages. FOG clogged pipes are big trouble. Here are some tips to help you properly dispose of fats, oils and grease:• After a meal, allow any leftover FOG to cool in pans and then scrape it into the trash.• Liquid FOG can be poured into containers such as tin cans, empty coffee cans or milk cartons and left to harden, then scraped into the trash.• Wipe excess FOG from pans and dishes with a paper towel and dispose of it in the trash.
