Not only is dumping food oils down the drain hard on your plumbing and water treatment plants, it also has a harmful impact on the environment. Oils form a film on water that interferes with the functioning of water treatment plants by suffocating the bacteria that remove pollution.
Simple DOs and DON’Ts:
DO NOT dump cooking oil, poultry fat and grease into the kitchen sink or the toilet bowl.
DO NOT use hot water and soap to wash grease down the drain, because it will cool and harden in your pipes or in the sewer down the line.
