Some good information!

This season’s turkeys, hams, and casseroles come with one thing you don’t want in your sink: grease. Grease, fats, and oils can harden in your pipes and cause major plumbing issues, in your home and in our sewer systems.

Instead, let it cool, collect it, and dispose of it properly. Learn how to recycle used cooking oil in South Carolina: des.sc.gov/recycleheresc

While you are checking your smoke alarms, check the manufacturer date. If it is older than 10 years old, it needs to be replaced. Call Fire-Rescue Headquarters at 843-539-1960 to get replacement alarms and complimentary installation.
