You're right, this is an environmental issue. Grease gets poured down the drain and enters the sewer system, where is solidifies and catches on protrusions. It then catches other debris in the sewers, and can even plug sewers up. Then it ends up in the water we end up drinking, along with medicines and anything else we pour into the system. Municipalities are having to pay a lot of money to clean this problem out of the pipes. Thank you for posting this.

To help explain this even further FOG includes all cooking oils (vegetable or otherwise), butter and margarine, dairy products (including milk) and even sauces made with any type of oil based products. Of course, bacon and other meat fats are a no brainer - LOL! ;-)

I don't know if it's citywide or statewide, but schools & busineeses here have not been allowed to put food or grease down their disposals for years. I never put grease down my drain, but after I learned why it's bad to put any food down the drain, I stopped using my garbage disposal all together.

I pour my grease into an empty can or container & add used paper towels or paper to the container to absorb the oil before I throw it in the trash.

We don't think about it, but all that grease does end up in streams, lakes, and the ocean when we pour it down the drain. Drain your grease into a safe container.

I learned from experience along time ago that pouring grease or even putting dish detergent and hot water in your skillet and pouring it down the drain would eventually clog your kitchen drain.
