CITY OF PLANO: Keep Cooking Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) Out Of Your Sink Drain

Oilinsewer

City Of Plano issued the following announcement on Nov. 19.

Don't spend the holidays making plumbing repairs. Keep cooking fats, oils and grease (FOG) out of your sink drain and properly dispose of it. Follow these simple tips:

Collect smaller amounts of used, cooled cooking oil in a sturdy, plastic container with a screw-top lid. Trash the container when it's full.

Wipe small amounts of fats, oils or grease from pots and pans with a paper towel, then toss the towel in the trash. Then use cold water to rinse the pots and pans.

Schedule a free pick up for 1 or more gallons of cooking or turkey fryer oil. Collect it in a container with a secure lid and call Environmental Waste Services at 972-769-4150 to recycle FOG into bio-diesel fuel.
