Grafton Grease Trap Cleaning

Grease trap pump-outs in Grafton are an important part of managing kitchen waste for food service businesses—and Pootanky is here to help.

We work with cafés, restaurants, takeaway shops and commercial kitchens throughout Grafton to remove accumulated grease waste and help businesses remain compliant with environmental requirements. Grease traps are designed to capture fats, oils and food solids before they enter the sewer system, but the collected waste needs to be pumped out regularly to prevent overflows, odours and blockages.

Our team uses vacuum units and compact trucks to access tight sites and remove grease waste efficiently. The collected fats, oils and solids are then transported and disposed of at licensed facilities in accordance with EPA guidelines. Grafton clients appreciate our straightforward service, reliable scheduling and minimal disruption to daily operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do grease traps help the environment?

Grease traps prevent fats, oils and grease (FOG) from entering the main sewer system, which helps reduce blockages, overflows and pollution. By separating these materials from wastewater, traps protect water treatment infrastructure and minimise environmental harm. Proper cleaning and waste disposal also reduce the risk of contaminants entering local waterways.
How long can I go between grease trap cleans?

The frequency of cleaning depends on how heavily your kitchen is used and the size of your trap. Some traps need cleaning monthly, while others may last three months. Waiting too long increases the risk of odours, clogs and non-compliance. Many councils recommend or require routine cleaning within a set timeframe.
What equipment is used for grease trap cleaning?

Professional cleaners use vacuum tankers to suction waste from the trap, followed by rinsing equipment to flush out residue. The waste is stored in a sealed tank and transported to a licensed treatment facility. Compact vehicles may be used for hard-to-reach areas, such as narrow laneways or behind buildings.
Do I need to be on-site during the service?

In most cases, no—grease trap cleaning can be completed without you being present, provided the team has access to the trap. Many business owners arrange after-hours service to minimise disruption. It’s helpful to ensure the area is unlocked or accessible and that any pets or staff are informed if applicable.
