Tipping turkey fat, gravy and other leftovers down the plughole can cause havoc in our drains and sewers. Save yourself a potential problem this Christmas and allow your festive fats to cool and solidify before throwing them away.

Water companies across the UK are working with Sainsbury’s and Waitrose to give away around 200,000 fat traps and funnels to people buying their Christmas turkey or roast. Each year, thousands of sewer blockages happen because people pour cooking fat, oil and grease (FOG) down their kitchen sinks.
