Description

Press release from the City of Albany: 11/02/2021 You can help prevent backed up pipes this holiday season! When cooking oils and grease go down the drain, they can clog pipes and lead to sewage back-ups at your home, place of business, and in the City sewer system. This can even lead to sewage entering the San Francisco Bay when grease clogs the pipes and overflows the sewer system. Please keep our pipes and our Bay clean by properly disposing of cooking oil and grease.   View EBMUD Drop-Off Locations  Berkeley and El Cerrito Recycling Centers accept larger amounts of residential oil and grease for recycling. For at-home recycling, pour cooled FOG into a sturdy paper container like a cardboard box or egg carton, absorb remaining FOG by wiping greasy pans with a paper towel, and place the items in your green organics cart.   This press release was produced by the City of Albany.
