Debuting our newest Pain In The Drain FOGG episode!!!

The ongoing program is centered around the Web Site: www.paininthedrain.com, and five central characters: Captain Can It (our hero) and the Villains of FOGG, Fat, Oil, Grease and Grit. The site features the “Adventures of Captain Can It” cartoon series, with new episodes being added frequently. The site also contains a variety of activities, information and materials aimed at reducing the amount of FOGG making its way to our systems. The web site is supported by a variety of outreach and education efforts that promote proper FOGG disposal, such as handing out grease cans, temporary tattoos and other collateral and promotional items; presenting in-classroom programs to school children; informational mailings in sewer bills; public service announcements; and presenting information at booths at local events. Collection sites for recycling cooking oil were made available during the winter holiday season.

Please go to www.paininthedrain.com to learn more about proper disposal and to request a grease can, a Captain Can It Team Member Kit, or to request a classroom or group presentation. You may also contact us at 668-8065.
