Uniting the F.O.G. Industry Through Education & Standards
What is F.O.G.?
F.O.G. stands for Fats, Oils & Grease.
Fats, oils, and grease are generated every day by restaurants, commercial kitchens, food service facilities, and other businesses. When F.O.G. enters drains and wastewater systems, it can accumulate in pipes and contribute to blockages, backups, sanitary sewer overflows, infrastructure damage, and costly maintenance.
Effective F.O.G. management isn't the responsibility of just one organization. It requires education, communication, proper maintenance, responsible disposal, effective municipal programs, and collaboration throughout the entire F.O.G. community.
