We Maintain Grease Traps in Murwillumbah
Why are Grease Traps Important?
When preparing food in your kitchen, it’s easy to simply wash everything down the drain. However, fats, oils and grease can build up over time, leading to blocked pipes and costly plumbing issues. These substances can also harm the environment and aquatic life if they enter the sewer system.
At Pootanky in Murwillumbah, we provide reliable grease trap waste removal and disposal services for restaurants, cafés and commercial kitchens. Our team pumps out accumulated grease, oils, fats and solids from your grease trap and ensures the waste is transported and disposed of safely.
A grease trap is a device installed within your plumbing system that intercepts grease and separates it from wastewater. As the water slows and cools, grease rises and solidifies while cleaner water continues through the pipes. The trapped grease must then be removed regularly to prevent overflow and blockages.
EPA Approved Waste Removal
Grease traps should be pumped out regularly to prevent overflows, blockages and unpleasant odours. The required frequency will depend on how much grease your kitchen produces, but many commercial kitchens require servicing every 1–3 months.
At Pootanky, we remove the accumulated grease, oils, fats and solids from your grease trap and transport the waste for safe disposal. The grease waste is handled separately from septic waste and managed in accordance with EPA guidelines, ensuring responsible and compliant disposal. We service grease traps in
