Fats, oils, grease disposal program to relaunch in time for Thanksgiving

Stafford County plans to relaunch its Fats, Oils, and Grease, known as FOGs, program after being put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic.

At a recent Infrastructure Committee meeting, members of the Stafford County Board of Supervisors learned the program prevents damage caused by the sludge that flows from kitchen sinks to the county’s pipes and sewers, and out to streams and rivers.

Stafford originally launched the program in November 2019 with a goal of influencing both residents and restaurants to put their used kitchen grease into cans and jars instead of just dumping it down the drain. The county launched a social media campaign later that month called #canyourgrease on platforms such as Facebook and Twitter as well as releasing several thousand informational flyers to bring attention to the issue and inform the general public about the issues caused by FOGs.
