🍳✨ Holiday cooking season is here! Just a reminder: never pour fats, oils, or grease down the drain — they harden in pipes, cause sewer blockages, and can lead to costly backups.
Instead, let grease cool and scrape it into the trash, use paper towels to absorb small amounts, mix it with coffee grounds or kitty litter, or keep a “grease container” under your sink. Your efforts help protect our sewer system, support the Pinole-Hercules Wastewater Treatment Plant, and keep San Pablo Bay healthy. 💧🌿
