The City of Katy reminds residents to Cease the Grease this holiday seasonThanksgiving is here, are you ready?! Cease the Grease this holiday season and Protect Your Pipes - Don’t Pour Fats, Oils, and Grease Down Your Sink!When fats, oils, and grease 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, lawn, neighborhood, and streets. Not only does this nasty mess cause health issues, but it also can run into a nearby stream or river, which affects our drinking water. If your pipes become clogged, it can be a very expensive problem to fix. When you have finished cooking, collect liquid grease and oils in a sealable container that you can take to be recycled. For the grease that cannot be poured into the container, you should wipe pans clean with a paper towel and put it in the trash. Food scraps should also go in the trash. Cease the Grease and recycle it instead at one of the following locations:Fort Bend County Recycling Center
