Holiday cooking: Holiday grease

Jim Stark

With the holiday season upon us, one important thing to keep in mind is the proper disposal of waste, specifically the waste that results from cooking.

Grease is found in things such as meat fats, cooking oil, shortening, sauces, and dairy products. When these things are washed down a sink, grease sticks to the insides of sewer pipes and clogs them.

The following tips will help prevent grease from clogging up pipes this holiday season:

*After cooling, pour grease and fat into a disposable container, wrap it in a plastic bag to reduce odor, and put it in the trash.

*Remove excess grease left on cookware with a paper towel, and scrape leftover food into the trash.

*Tell family and friends about protecting their home and preserving the environment through proper disposal of fats, oils, and grease.

Collecting leftover grease in a container benefits both the plumbing and the environment. For more information, call (951) 826-5311.
