Rain forecast in S.F. - just in time during a busy holiday shopping weekend!

To minimize potential flooding, SFPUC crews have been preparing in advance of the weekend storm by flushing the sewer lines and cleaning catch basins.

You can help too: before you go out and about shopping for the holidays, just sweep away leaves and debris away from catch basins.

In SF, to report clogged catch basins or street flooding, contact 311 or @sf311. You can also go to http://www.sf311.org/.

Stay dry and good luck shopping in the rain!

Thinking about frying that turkey for Thanksgiving? Don't even think about pouring the fryer oil or grease down the drain!

Instead, give the used grease or oil to the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), and we will turn it into biofuel for use in vehicles.

See what might happen if you pour used cooking oil down the drain:

At Thanksgiving, most people cook and share a meal with friends and family. Come next day, drop off your used grease at one of SFGreasecycle's permanent collection sites in San Francisco. By doing that, you will help reduce sewer blockages caused by fats, oil and grease and turn a waste product into something useful - biofuel.

For a list of used cooking grease drop-off sites in S.F., go to SFGreasecycle's residential web-page.

HAPPY greaseless THANKSGIVING!
