The City of Daytona Beach needs YOUR help to CAN THE FOG ! Never pour used cooking oil or grease down the drain. Instead, pour it into an empty, heat-safe container such as a soup can, and store it with a FREE reusable lid, provided by the city and available at the Utility Billing office in City Hall! Once your can is full and solidified, simply toss it into the garbage and keep the lid for next time! This will help keep your drain plumbing and the City’s collection system cleaner and stop costly and inconvenient backups! For more information on the City of Daytona Beach’s Fats, Oils and Grease program, please contact the FOG group at FOG@CODB.US
Manufacturers advertise these products as flushable, but wastewater treatment facilities disagree. Although they leave the toilet bowl when flushed, these wipes simply do not disintegrate as they move through plumbing systems. To illustrate this point, Consumer Reports did a disintegration test on four brands of so-called flushable wipes and found that, unlike toilet paper, flushable wipes did not break down but stayed intact, even after the testers ran them in a mixer for ten minutes. Are Flushable Wipes Really Flushable? NO!
