As some of us begin ‘wrapping’ up the holiday festivities, the City of Vaughan is reminding everyone where to dispose of real Christmas trees, broken glass ornaments and old electronics.

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.
