Frequently Asked Questions

What is removed during grease trap cleaning?

During grease trap cleaning, fats, oils, grease and food solids that collect in the trap are fully removed. These materials accumulate over time and can clog your drainage system if left untreated. Once removed, the interior of the trap is rinsed to ensure proper flow and functionality. The waste is then transported to a licensed facility for safe and legal disposal.
How much does grease trap cleaning cost?

The cost of grease trap cleaning depends on the size of the trap, the level of build-up, and how frequently the service is performed. Smaller traps with light build-up may cost less, while larger or overdue traps may require more time and equipment. Some providers offer regular service schedules with discounted rates.
Can grease trap waste be disposed of in general rubbish?

No, grease trap waste cannot be disposed of in general rubbish bins. It contains concentrated fats, oils and food solids that require treatment through licensed facilities. Disposing of this waste improperly can lead to fines, environmental damage and blockages in public infrastructure. Licensed cleaners follow EPA guidelines for transport and disposal, ensuring waste is handled safely and legally.
What types of businesses need grease trap cleaning?

Any business that handles food preparation, such as cafés, restaurants, takeaways, function centres, and food trucks, typically requires a grease trap. These businesses generate wastewater containing fats and oils that need to be separated before entering the sewer. Without regular cleaning, traps can overflow, leading to serious plumbing issues and health regulation breaches.
