Farewell to Festive Fats
Published: 13/12/2016
Copeland Council is urging people to help protect our seawaters during this festive season.
The council is supporting the #Binit4Beaches campaign, which encourages people to bin their cooking fat instead of pouring it down the sink in the run up to Christmas.
Putting leftover fat down the sink blocks drains and floods sewers - an expensive problem for both the householder and the water company. Even with soap and hot water, grease sticks to and hardens on sewage pipes, damaging the system.
