 Hello everyone, I'm Alicia Anderson and welcome to the Fort Report. Holiday season is fast approaching and during that time we tend to cook more with fat and grease. Are you frying a turkey? What do you do with leftover cooking oil? A lot of people don't know how to properly dispose of those fats and cooking oils and unfortunately a lot of people put them down the drain. And what will happen is that will harden and actually cause a clog in the sewer system. What most people don't understand is our sewer system. Actually the water inside is really more of a trickle and it's gravity fed. And so because it moves so slow, the fats and grease that get in there can harden and just kind of slowly back up and cause a clog. When it's clogged we'll have what we call an SSO or sanitary sewer overflow. So essentially you will have sanitary sewer water back up into your home, into your showers, into your toilets. You could also have a pipe break and burst as well. So what can we do to avoid sewer water backing up into our home? The best thing to do is not to pour grease down the drain. So with food scraps, anything left on your plate you really should scrape that off and put it into the trash. Let's say you've been deep fried a turkey and have cooking oil. The best thing to take that is to let the oil cool down, put it into an original container or any container with a lid, label it whether we know it's grease or whether it's cooking oil and then put that inside a plastic bag so that it will help prevent or at least limit spills. And we would suggest that you actually recycle it, take it to our environmental collection center and have it recycled where a company comes and picks it up and actually turns it into a biofuel. So that's the best thing to do with it. If you can't do that then put it back into that container and actually put it in your regular trash. For more information visit the website on the screen.
