Like human arteries, the pipes in your house and the city's sanitary sewer system won't work if they are clogged. Fortunately, most clogged pipes are 100% preventable. Here's how:

• Put cooking grease, butter, and fats in the trash! Let the fat cool, then scrape it into an unused coffee can - then throw the can away after the fat, oil, or grease has cooled.
• Wipe greasy pots and dishes with a paper towel before washing them. 
• Never pour cooking fats, oils, or grease down the sink or flush in the toilet! This includes dairy products!
• Don't flush wipes of any kind: facial wipes, baby wipes, cleaning wipes - even those labeled flushable. They aren't!
• Do not flush hygiene products, dental floss, paper (other than toilet paper), etc.
