Water UK has published this guide to advise catering establishments on best practice for disposal of food waste and the need to keep fat, oil and grease out of drains and sewers.
Fat, oil and grease cause major problems to drains and sewers. When they are disposed of down kitchen sinks or drains they cause blockages; when they enter rainwater pipes or gullies they cause pollution in streams and rivers.
