To prevent FOG from entering sewers and forming fatbergs, businesses can follow these simple steps:
- Place cooled FOG in a container and dispose of it through registered waste collection services instead of pouring it down the sink while washing up. For those interested in selling FOG, reach out to your wholesaler for more information
- Prior to washing, use a paper towel or cloth to remove excess fats and discard them in the bin
- Use sink strainers to capture food scraps, preventing them from contributing to blockages
- Consider installing equipment like grease traps inside or outside the property to collect FOG before it reaches the sewer. These devices are effective in managing FOG and reducing the risk of blockages.
