Once poured down the kitchen sink, fats, oils, and grease (FOG) condense and clog pipes and sewer lines below our feet. Line blockages cause sanitary sewer overflows which release untreated sewage into the environment, polluting Galveston Bay. Sewage entering Galveston Bay results in bacteria impairments which are unsafe for you and harmful to the Bay. Grease blockages caused by the improper disposal of FOG can lead to costly problems for both local governments and citizens in terms of sewer lines, home plumbing repairs, and environmental remediation.
