Don’t pour that grease down the sink!

The law requires all commercial kitchens to dispose of fat, oil, and grease waste responsibly, but what exactly does that mean?

If grease is poured down the sink it can eventually solidify and cause clogs even when poured with boiling water. This can cause further problems with bad smells from caught food waste and sewer issues.

Macerators can do more harm than good by putting more food waste in the pipes and sewer. The best option is probably a well-maintained FOG (fat, oil, and grease) trap, or collect oil in containers to solidify and toss later.
