With the holiday season in full effect, we wanted to ensure your celebrations are one to remember for all the right reasons. On today’s show, we have tips from Justin Jackson, Environmental Health Manager, who’s talking to us about food preparation, leftovers, and safety, and Mike Harris, Director of Water and Sewer, to talk about FOG (fats, oils, and greases) and the proper disposal of waste after the party’s over.
