you or even neighbors downstream. It also can
and pollute our water ways.
WHAT CAN I DO?
Wipe visible FOG and food scraps from
plates, pots, and utensils into the trash
for disposal.
Never pour FOG down your sink drain, garbage
disposal, or the sewer system.
Pour cooled FOG into a container such as
empty pet food, vegetable, or coffee can.
Allow material to cool and solidify. Remove the
lid and place the can in the trash when full.
COOL IT, CAN IT, & TRASH IT. Remove the lid
and reuse it.
