Cooking a holiday feast? Remember to safely dispose of leftover fats, oils and grease – do not pour these substances down the sink or toilet!
Fats, oils and grease – such as butter, olive oil, gravy and meat fat – can clog pipes if they are poured down the drain. This can lead to sewer backups, which can cause flooding in your and your neighbours’ homes and possible environmental concerns.
With holiday festivities in full swing, you may have some extra waste materials to put at the curb – which may require more bins or bags! Here’s how to purchase garbage tags, blue boxes and green bins from the City of Vaughan.

Key city-building projects are in the works, public engagement opportunities are underway and new community amenities are opening for public use. There’s lots to be excited about!
Protect your pipes first!
Whether you’re going away for a weekend or on an extended vacation this holiday season, don’t forget about your home’s water pipes! Low temperatures can cause pipes to freeze, leak or burst if they are not properly protected.
