licensed waste hauler. Disposal of such waste, such as transmission fluid, cooking oil, fats, or grease, should
not be improperly disposed of by throwing it on the ground, down manholes or storm drains, or down any
household drains as these items can contaminate the groundwater or negatively impact the wastewater system.
