Free Fat Trap

Thanks to Rikesh for this one.

This is a tub where you pour your oil waste into, instead of pouring it down the drain and encouraging blockages.

Its being given out by Anglian Water. Im not one of their customers, but the online request form took my details with no problems.

    I sent off for one of these last year, I'm with Severn Trent and they still sent it :T I half-fill it with bird seed then fill it with fat, put it in the fridge to set and voila! Cake for the birds :D

    thanks, I have applied, could be cool, cos my sister when she comes to stay keeps pouring oil/fat down my sink! Which is now very blocked, I have poured several unblocking products down it, which work for a while then it blocks up again... So yes I hope I receive this definitely should come in handy.
    I always wanted to be a procrastinator, never got round to it...
  • great idea i have just contacted my water board to see if they will take this on board :T
  • Thanks OP. I have one that I purchased a while back but it is now FULL!!
