Fatbergs in South East Queensland: A Growing Concern for Urban Utilities The sight of massive accumulations of grease and solid waste clogging sewer systems is a disturbing reality for urban utilities across south east Queensland.

Fatbergs are formed when non liquid waste such as food scraps, grease, and oils congeal in pipes due to inadequate or improper disposal practices.
