Enjoy Your Summer Treats, But Keep Ice Cream Out of the Sink!
As the end of summer approaches, it’s still the perfect time to enjoy your favorite sweet treat. But did you know that rinsing ice cream down the sink can cause major plumbing issues and eventually sanitary sewer overflows?
Here's why you should avoid it:
-
Clogs: Fats in ice cream can solidify and clog your pipes.
-
Odors: Decomposing dairy trapped in pipes can create unpleasant smells.
-
Environmental Harm: Ice cream and other dairy products contribute to sanitary sewer overflows that negatively impact our water systems and wildlife.
Instead of rinsing it away, wipe out your bowl with a paper towel and dispose of it in the trash.
While you’re screaming for ice cream, remember - put Fats, Oils and Grease in the trash, Never down the drain!
