Freeze the Grease, Save a Bundle
After big holiday meals, no one likes to be the one stuck doing clean-up. But if you aren't careful with leftover gravy, pan drippings and sauces a grease-clogged drain could end up costing you a bundle. To help combat the fat, City of Gresham’s Wastewater Services is offering a free “Freeze the Grease, Save the Drain Kit” to residents. Call (503) 618-2100 or e-mail naomi.standley@ci.gresham.or.us to get your kit including a pan scrapper, can lid and easy-to-follow instructions.
-
It's simple as 1-2-3
- Scrape grease and food scraps into a can.
- Freeze it.
- Toss it into the trash.
When fats, oils and grease are poured down the drain, they stick to the inside of pipes causing messy sewer backups and expensive cleanup and repair in your home. As a double whammy, the untreated wastewater may flow into streets, neighborhood storm drains and ultimately the nearest river or stream causing problems for surrounding communities and the environment.
