You can discard the used paper towel in the trash after!

Just like fats, oils, and grease affect your health, no amount of FOG is good for your drains or wastewater system.
Remember to cool the FOG down before wiping your pots or pans!

Butter may look harmless, but pouring fats, oils, and grease down the sink can harden and clog pipes over time. Butter not pour it down the drain—trash it instead to keep plumbing clear.

Don’t let your drains ‘Beat It.’

Pouring grease down the sink can turn your pipes into a real Thriller.

smoothly.

Wondering what to do with unused or expired medications? Don’t flush them. Don’t pour them down the drain.

Safely dispose of them through a DEA Med Take‑Back event.
