![]() It is not a good idea to use your garbage disposal as a substitute for the trash can. Using drains to dispose of food waste can clog sewer lines and possibly cause sewer backups in your home. Using a drain screen in your sink to catch any remaining bits of food as you rinse and wash dishes, as well as using your garbage disposal sparingly, helps to reduce the amount of food waste clogging your pipes and our sewers. Food should not be washed down sinks and drains, nor flushed down toilets. Remember to put FOG where it belongs!ĭon't Flush Trouble Public Service Announcement 30 sec.ĭon't Flush Trouble Public Service Announcement 90 sec.įood and food waste can also cause our sewer lines to be clogged and have backups. Detergent and dish soaps are not effective to break up grease and keep it from building up in the lines for long term either. Also, a common misconception is that detergent or dish soap will prevent grease build up in sewer lines, however that is not the case. Running hot water as you pour the grease down the drain only breaks up grease temporarily and does not work to keep grease out of sewer lines long term. These backups can happen in your home or onto our community streets. These can be picked up for free at the City of Bismarck Public Works offices at 601 S 26th Street.įats, oils, and grease stick to interior surfaces of sewer pipes, harden over time, and eventually cause sewage backups. Another option is to use the grease scrapers provided by the City of Bismarck Industrial Pre-treatment program. The simplest way to dispose of FOG materials in the trash is to pour the FOG materials into an empty can (empty coffee cans work great), allow them to cool until hardened, then when the can is full, simply throw in the trash.

While this was dripping away I sliced a banana and a kiwifruit and entered them into my bowl of great grains cereal, Blueberry Nut Crunch, naturally flavoured, with real delicious BLUEBERRIES. I cleaned out the coffee machine, a Keurig K-Duo Essentials™ Single Serve & Carafe Coffee Maker, and put a fresh pot on. My morning routine was back with a vengeance though. The gap between your gloves and your jacket sleeve, your pants that don’t seal down the bottom, the tiny bit of your ear that isn’t covered by your scarf or beanie – these bits are rapid points of failure. I haven’t experienced anything much colder than this but my main takeaway from getting into the negative Fahrenheits is that you quickly find out where all of the weak points are in your cold weather clothes. It was the coldest day so far, sitting at -20☌ (-4☏) at around midday when I first went outside. I was harbouring a feeling of regret at having already used up that beautiful first visit to Space Alien Grill & Bar, considering the limited range of activities within survivable walking distance of the bus. ![]() So here we were in Bismarck, a hub of culture, history, and shopping.
