Current Initiatives

  • Education – The Compliance Inspectors are committed to educating the public on the harmful effects of fats, oils, and greases on the environment. We have created educational material for FSEs, single and multi-family residence, and schools. We have set up different meeting locations, dates, and times to educate FOG generators on the new permitting process and the proper disposal of FOG.



  •  
  • Inspection – Our goal is to inspect every fats, oils, and greases generator in DeKalb County, and assist them in coming into compliance with the county's codes and ordinances.



  •  
  • Permitting – Dekalb County has established a permitting program. Every FOG generator shall be issued a FOG permit number in order to be open for business. This will make the inspection and evaluation process more efficient.



  •  
  • Enforcement – Compliance Inspectors will continue to enforce the codes and ordinances of DeKalb County. Every FOG generator shall come into compliance, or face fines, and/or even jail time with court probation monitoring.
