Casper urges residents to dispose of fats, oils, and grease properly to prevent sewer backups.

Casper is urging residents to prevent sewer backups by properly managing fats, oils, and grease (FOGs), which can clog pipes and cause costly damage. The city recommends pouring FOGs into sealed containers, disposing of them in the trash, and avoiding pouring them down drains. Residents are also advised to use sink strainers and to refrain from using garbage disposals for greasy waste. These steps help maintain sewer system integrity and reduce the risk of backups, especially during colder months when FOGs solidify more easily.
