These
suggestions can save you money!
Backups, blockages and
overflows can create serious problems for the
environment resulting in health problems, foul
odors, property damage, and pollution for rivers and
streams. That is why we are asking our citizens to
please adhere to the following guidelines when
disposing of grease.
DO NOT
· Pour
grease, fats and oils from cooking down the drain.
· Use
the toilet as a wastebasket.
· Disposable
diapers, condoms, and personal hygiene products do
not belong in the sewer system.
· Use
the sewer as a means to dispose of food scraps.
DO
· Collect
grease in a container and dispose of it in the
garbage.
· Place
a wastebasket in each bathroom for the disposal of
solid waste.
· Place
food scraps in waste containers or the garbage for
disposal with solid waste, or better yet, start a
compost pile.
· Promote
the concept of “3 R’s”: Reduce, Recycle, Reuse.

Director Rickie Monroe at 910-944-7012 or
