Grease in Drains NEVER pour fat, oil, or grease down the sink drains or in the toilets. When these products go down the drain, it hardens and causes sewer pipes to clog. This can lead to a Sanitary Sewer Overflow where raw sewage actually backs up into your home. To avoid household damage, as well as a costly bill, pour the grease into a can, freeze the contents, and place in the trash on garbage day.
