With the week-long celebration of pies, which runs until March 9, seeing people celebrate the occasion by making a pie from scratch or serving one as part of a dinner, Severn Trent are asking people to think about what they do with the leftovers and the ingredients that aren’t used.
The water and waste company is reminding everyone to ‘be a binner, not a blocker’, saying that the gravy and other ingredients can create fatbergs in the sewers and cause blockages, which can lead to flooding in customers’ homes.
The water company is giving advice to customers so that they can enjoy the week without any issues and is asking everyone to share this guidance with their loved ones and neighbours so that we can weather the winter together.
