Grease trap cleaning is the process of removing grease waste and other food particles from the unit.

The presence of fat, oil, and grease in wastewater burdens the treatment plant. The grease, in particular, can cause certain reactions in sewage lines, thereby contributing to sewer pipe blockages. Restaurants will have to stop their operations if their kitchen is flooded with an overflowing grease trap. In order to keep the public drainage system efficient and free from oil and grease, it is a regulatory requirement even for the smallest food service establishment to have a grease trap cleaning contract with an approved grease trap cleaning company.

While the collection of grease is necessary to ensure the public drainage system is not overloaded with fat, oil, and grease from the regulator’s viewpoint, collection of grease and cleaning of the grease trap is essential for restaurants and other food service facilities for hygienic and business reasons.
