Protect your pipes!

Don’t pour fats, oils, or grease down your drains!

Cooking wastes—fats, oil, and grease clog your pipes, causing hundreds or even thousands of dollars in damages. This also damages the water quality in our bays and bayous.

Do your part and dispose of used cooking waste the right way—in the trash. Never down the drain.
