When cooking with oil, make sure to cool it, can it and trash it. Pouring grease down the drain can cause messy, costly sewage backups into your home as well as well as system-wide clogged pipes.
After you are done cooking:
- Pour the hot grease into a metal can
- Let it cool down
- Then throw the can into the regular trash
Remember, Can it. Cool it. Trash it.
