Abstract
Obstruction by fats, oil and grease (FOG) clogs in sewer pipelines results in high building maintenance costs. FOG in wastewater poses threats to properties and causes pollution of waterways and groundwater. A survey was carried out among residential households in the suburban township of Bandar Baru Bangi, Malaysia, to identify domestic practices in the handling and management of kitchen wastes. Improper practices in the disposal of kitchen wastes containing FOG is found to be the major cause of FOG accumulation in sewer pipes and drains. Preventive practices in the management of FOG in domestic kitchen waste should be the first line of solutions in mitigating FOG.
