Keep track of leftovers
- Choose at least one day a week to eat leftovers or use ingredients from your fridge.
- Eat the oldest food in your fridge first.
- Reheat leftovers using the original cooking method. A toaster oven, air fryer or stovetop might result in tastier leftovers than the microwave.

Sabías que todos los negocios de alimentos y bebidas conectados al sistema de alcantarillado público deben contar con un interceptor de grasa aprobado?

Un interceptor de grasa atrapa grasas, aceites y residuos de grasa (FOG, por sus siglas en inglés) antes de que entren en el alcantarillado.

Hay dos tipos de interceptadores de grasa:

1. Interceptor de grasa hidromecánico (HGI): Este tipo usa un control de flujo para manejar el FOG. Pueden instalarse en interiores y tienen una capacidad menor de almacenamiento de FOG .

2. Interceptor de grasa por gravedad (GGI): Este tipo usa la gravedad para separar y manejar el FOG. Se instalan en exteriores y tienen una capacidad mayor de almacenamiento de FOG que los HGI.

Did you know that all food and beverage businesses connected to the public sewer system must have an approved grease interceptor?

A grease interceptor catches fats, oils and grease (FOG) before they enter the sewer.

There are two types of grease interceptors:

1. Hydromechanical grease interceptor (HGIs): This type uses flow control to manage FOG. They can be installed indoors and have a smaller FOG storage capacity.
2. Gravity grease interceptor (GGIs): This type uses gravity to separate and manage FOG. They are installed outdoors and have larger capacity for storing FOG than HGIs.
