Billy the Sunshine Plumber can help you if you get a drain or sewer clog from cooking oil or from any other cause.

You were all fired up about sustainability and eco-awareness after the Earth Day celebration at Crews Lake Wilderness Park yesterday. So this morning, when you cooked bacon for breakfast, you were especially aware of the perils of bacon grease. Dump it in your sink and you could get a clog. Dump it outside and it’s bad for the environment. So, just what do you do with it and other cooking fats and oils?

“Cooking with oil of any variety — vegetable, canola, peanut, avocado, etc. — can delightfully transform the texture and flavor of food, but when it comes to cleaning up, getting rid of used oil can be less pleasant. And properly disposing of oil is important not just for your home’s health, but also community and environmental health at large,” insider.com says.

Insider.com adds, “Getting rid of oil the wrong way can attract pests and cause damage to your home. Following the correct methods ensures that you get the most out of your cooking oil and dispose of it in a way that’s best for your home, your community, and the environment.”

Insider.com says the three things you definitely don’t do with used oil, grease or fats are pouring them down the drain or into the toilet; dumping them in your yard; or pouring them down a storm drain.

Instead, pout them in a container, seal it and put it in the trash. Or store it and re-use it. Or take it to a recycling center.

If fat, grease or oil does get into your plumbing system and causes a clog you can’t get rid of by yourself, call the plumbing technicians at Billy the Sunshine Plumber for help.
