Freeze the Grease, Save a Bundle. Keep Fats Out Of The Pipes
![]() |
Simple Solution. Big Reward. After big holiday meals, no one likes to be stuck doing the clean-up. But if you aren't careful with leftover gravy, pan drip-pings and sauces a grease-clogged drain could ruin your holiday and cost you a bundle. |
|
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.
The solution:
Pour the grease into a can, freeze it, and toss the can in the trash!
Thanksgiving, A Time To Be Grateful More Than Ever
Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on everything that’s good in your life -- and to give to others who may not share the same good fortune this Thanksgiving.
Enjoy a happy Thanksgiving holiday!
