“Don’t Strain Your Drain” is a community-driven initiative aimed at preventing the harmful effects of disposing of cooking oil down household drains. Improper disposal leads to clogged pipes, environmental pollution, and costly repairs. Our mission is to educate residents and small restaurant owners in Mount Vernon, Port Chester, and New Rochelle about the importance of proper cooking oil disposal and to provide accessible recycling options.
Pouring cooking oil down the drain can lead to water contamination, harming aquatic life and ecosystems.
Oil solidifies in pipes, causing blockages that can result in sewage backups and property damage.
Avoid expensive plumbing repairs and reduce municipal maintenance costs by disposing of oil correctly.
We have established convenient oil recycling drop-off locations in Mount Vernon, Port Chester, and New Rochelle.
Our campaign is driven by local students passionate about protecting our environment. We participate in community events to spread awareness and educate residents about the importance of proper cooking oil disposal. Join us at upcoming events to learn more and get involved!
