Fats, oils, and grease, known collectively as FOG, represent a serious enemy of our sewer lines. When FOG is dumped down a drain, it forms large, thick clogs in the pipes and is also harmful to water quality. Both of these things can cause a lot of problems, so it’s best to fight FOG from the start!
The Environmental Staff at LaRC work actively to prevent harmful substances like FOG from entering any drains on Center. Environmental Staff also regularly monitor the stormwater that leaves LaRC and enters local waterways to ensure it is clean and clear.
Follow these steps to fight FOG in your home and at LaRC during the holiday season! And remember, fats, oils, and grease should never be placed down ANY drain on Center.
Please contact the Environmental Office if you have any questions about water quality or proper disposal of wastes at LaRC.
Great information for me and I am sure for others.
