Is it ok to dump grease down my drains?

NO!! FOG's (Fats, Oil and grease) poured down kitchen drains accumulates inside sewer pipes.  As the FOG's builds up, it restricts the flow in the pipe and can cause sewer wastewater to back up into homes and businesses. Sanitary sewer backups result in high costs for cleanup and restoration. FOG's can also impact the city’s side of the sewer system, manholes can overflow into parks, yards, streets, and storm drains, allowing FOG to contaminate local waters, including drinking water. Exposure to untreated wastewater is a public-health hazard. It is in violation of SMC Sec. 13.12.080.
