Frequently Asked Questions

How does grease build up in a trap?

When waste water from kitchen sinks and dishwashers enters the grease trap, fats, oils and solids begin to separate and settle. Over time, these substances accumulate and form a thick layer that can block drainage and cause odours. Without cleaning, the grease will overflow or harden, reducing the trap’s efficiency and leading to plumbing issues.
What are the legal requirements for grease trap maintenance?

Most local councils and environmental authorities require food businesses to maintain grease traps in accordance with specific cleaning intervals. These may vary by location and trap size. Businesses are also responsible for ensuring waste is disposed of at licensed facilities. Failure to comply can result in fines, penalties or even business shutdowns.
Can grease trap waste be reused or recycled?

In some regions, grease trap waste can be processed into biofuel or other industrial products, but this depends on local regulations and treatment facility capabilities. The majority of grease trap waste is transported to licensed disposal sites for safe handling. Recycling is not typically done on-site and always requires professional processing.
How do I prevent my grease trap from filling too quickly?

Good kitchen habits can reduce the amount of waste entering your grease trap. Scraping food scraps into bins before rinsing, using sink strainers, and avoiding excessive oil disposal down drains can help. However, even with good practices, grease traps will still need regular professional cleaning to stay effective and compliant.
