|  "Trash the Grease" Campaign
The City of Columbia spends millions of dollars every year unplugging or replacing grease-blocked pipes, repairing pump stations, and cleaning up costly and illegal wastewater spills. It hopes its customers will join in the battle to "Trash the Grease".
Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) come from cooking oil, bacon grease, meat fats, food scraps, shortening, lard, butter and margarine, gravy, and food products such as mayonnaise, salad dressings, and sour cream. These types of FOG are the main cause for sanitary sewer overflows. Sewer overflows and backups caused by FOG can create public health hazards, cause damage to homes and the environment, and even cause wastewater rates to increase. The City of Columbia has developed a FOG Control Program to prevent the discharge of fats, oils and grease into the sanitary sewer system.
