Used Cooking Oil Collection and Recycling Services

Restaurant Grease Trap Cleaning and Maintenance

All commercial kitchens require properly maintained grease traps. They are crucial in preventing fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from entering the sewage system. If FOG is allowed to enter down the drain, it can cause significant damage to the sewage and plumbing systems and pollute the natural environment. It’s important to note that washing FOG down the drain can result in your business being fined for violating local codes and regulations. Therefore, it’s essential to ensure that your grease traps are regularly cleaned and maintained.

Grease traps use a system of baffles that effectively separates the FOG from the water. To prevent clogs and issues within the trap the removal of FOG is crucial. If the FOG builds up in the traps, your kitchen could encounter the following issues:

• Flooding in the kitchen
• Pollution and health issues
• Foul odors
• Costly remediation services
• Business closure
• Fines
