Prepping for holiday feasts? Remember: Fats, oils, and grease (FOG) should NEVER go down the drain or into outdoor storm gutters. Drain = clogged pipes & polluted streams.
Can it, cool it, trash it! Keep our water clean this holiday.

What’s wrong with this picture?
These residential sewer pipes are clogged with wipes
The only place that wipes should go is the trash. If you’d rather not put soiled wipes in your garbage can, go back to using toilet paper in the bathroom or consider using a bidet
