Fats, Oils and Grease

Cooking fats, oils and grease, if washed down the drain, can lead to sewage back-ups at home, your business or in the community's sewer pipes. No one wants untreated sewage backing up into buildings or streets!

To reduce grease-related problems at home and for residential cooking oil recycling locations, see our Residential Pollution Prevention page.

For controlling grease at restaurants and other food service establishments, the materials below can help you develop an effective grease management program at work. Please contact us or call (510) 287-1651 for more information. For more information about your community sewer system, contact your local sewer system agency.
