We remove all built-up grease, inspect the system, and dispose of waste according to strict EPA guidelines. We’re also happy to work around your hours to avoid interfering with your service times.

Our team communicates clearly, arrives on time, and always leaves the area clean and ready for use. With our help, local businesses can stay compliant, avoid costly emergencies, and keep kitchens running as they should. For straightforward grease trap cleaning, we’re the team to call.

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.
