 DERM and the Miami-Dade County Department
of Water and Sewer are working together to minimize the negative impact that grease has on the County’s sewage system. Recent studies
have shown that most of the grease that is causing damages to this system is coming from single-family, apartment, and condo residents. The repairs to the County’s sewage system can be costly for the tax payers.
At times, the damage is limited to localized clogs in the pipes of the residence, which can also be very costly for the homeowner or those who are renting. That is why is not a good idea to pour grease down your kitchen drain or any other sewage pipe.
The Solution:
After you are done cooking, pour the hot grease into a metal can, let it cool down, then you can throw it into the regular trash. So remember, Grease is the Word. Do your part and help to minimize the negative impact of grease in our sewage system.
If you own a business with a kitchen, you may need to apply for a permit. Click here to find out all you need to know. For more information on this issue, please call DERM at 305-372-6899.
