Keep Sanibel’s Sewer System Fit for Life
Disposal of Cooking Wastes:
Cooking oil and grease are wastes that can NOT be discarded down the sink.
When these wastes are dumped down the drain, the grease and oils can clog sewer lines, causing sewage backups and flooding. Sewage back - ups can damage personal property, public property, and the surrounding environment.
DO NOT dump cooking oil, grease or poul- try fat down the sink or toilet
DO use paper towels to wipe residual grease or oils off dishes, pots and pans be- fore washing them.
.
DO NOT use hot water and soap to wash grease down the sink. Once this cools, it will harden in your pipes in the sewer.
DO place cooled cooking oil, grease and poultry fat into a sealed container and dis- card into the garbage.
