The Georgia FOG Alliance recently recognized the DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management’s Fats, Oils and Grease program as “2014 Outstanding Program of the Year” for the second consecutive year. The award was presented by FOG Alliance representatives in December during the organization’s year-end meeting.

The FOG Alliance is a nonprofit organization that educates and promotes a cleaner environment by controlling fats, oils and grease. It includes all the municipalities and cities of Georgia. Each year, the FOG Alliance analyzes and evaluates various aspects of local FOG initiatives to determine a winner.
