'Putrid' 30 tonne fatberg pulled from Perth's sewers
www.abc.net.au
A 30-tonne congealed mass of items that should not be flushed, including wet wipes, sanitary products, oils and grease was removed by an excavator over two days.

In short:

The largest recorded fatberg in WA, weighing 30,000 kg, was found in Perth’s sewer system during routine maintenance.

Fatbergs are entirely preventable and form due to non-flushable items like wipes and fats being disposed of incorrectly.

What’s next?

Workers spent two days earlier this week using an excavator to break up and remove the fatberg, which has been taken to the tip.
