How can I prevent my sink from clogging?

Fats, oils, and grease should be disposed of in the trash, not down the sink. Some city solid waste facilities have the option to recycle used oil.

You can protect the wastewater system while also preventing clogs and overflows by properly disposing of cooking waste in the trash.

Note: Your kitchen disposal is a great way to minimize the impact of debris in your pipes, but shouldn't be used to dispose of food.

The purpose of a sink disposal is to make it easy to clean the drain out after washing dishes and letting the water out.

Tip: For bathroom sinks, remove hair and debris manually rather than rinsing down the drain.

Avoid disposing of food waste in the kitchen sink and clean all sink drains regularly.
