Phat King Challenge

Bacon

Have a love for greasy foods? Do bacon, sausage and ground beef make a regular appearance in your refrigerator? If so, we have the perfect challenge for you!

Throughout the month of February, you can register to be a part of the first ever Phat King Challenge. Fats, oils and grease should never go down the drain, but instead be placed in sealable containers, refrigerated, and once solid thrown out with your household garbage. Now we are challenging you to go one step further and collect them. And If you collect the largest amount within the one month period you could win an Xbox 360 with Kinect bundle.

We may not think about them once they are out of sight, but when fats, oils and grease (FOG) go down the drain, they can cause a variety of problems for our wastewater system and local environment. From clogged pipes to depleted oxygen in the marine environment, the effect of FOG in our wastewater is both costly and ecologically damaging.

Keep fats, oil and grease out of the drain. Grab a container and register for the Phat King Challenge today! Don't delay - contest closes Feb 26, 2012.
