The Cease the Grease Campaign is a regional campaign, coordinated by the Galveston Bay Foundation, with the purpose of reducing sanitary sewer overflows through public education and awareness.
When cooking waste like fats, oils, and grease (FOG) go down the drain, sewer pipes get blocked or damaged. These clogged pipes cause sewer overflows which introduce harmful bacteria into Galveston Bay and the environment. Protect your home and the bay by properly disposing of FOG.
Aging infrastructure, combined with improper disposal of FOG in single and multi-family homes, can lead to costly problems for both local governments and citizens in terms of sewer lines, home plumbing repairs, and environmental remediation.
