Reminder: Don’t Pour Grease Down the Drain

The holidays will be so much brighter if you remember that fats, oils and grease (what we call FOG) can clog your pipes. Clogged sewer pipes cause backups of untreated sewage into homes. That’s a mess you don’t want to clean up!

Instead of washing FOG down the drain, take a paper towel and wipe any excess off your pans or pour it into a container. Once filled, the container can be recycled through our NRH Public Works Dept. They will collect FOG for recycling Jan. 5 – 8.

Please note that containers holding discarded cooking oil and grease must be made of plastic and have a screw-top lid. This program is for residential kitchens only and excludes commercial users. Petroleum products are not accepted.

Call our FOG pick-up line at 817-427-6457 and leave a message or email tngo@nrhtx.com to schedule a pickup. Thanks for doing your part to keep NRH sewer pipes free of oils and grease.
