Reducing Grease Build up in Your Trap
Every kitchen runs differently, and your maintenance schedule might be longer or shorter than 90 days. If you have a smaller trap, you’re likely familiar with the signs when it’s time to clean it. When too much grease and food solids are in the trap, it starts to smell, and the sinks drain more slowly.
Regardless of the size of your grease trap, putting more waste down the drain is going to fill it faster. A great best practice for any restaurant is to scrape excess food and grease off plates, cookware, and silverware before washing. By changing cleaning practices, restaurants with smaller traps can extend the time between grease trap cleanings. The number one source of grease is your dishwasher. If you’re noticing signs that your grease trap is getting full—it’s time to act! A great best practice for any restaurant is to schedule regular grease trap cleaning to prevent problems from arising and stop kitchen emergencies before they happen.

How Often Should Maintenance Be Performed on My Grease Trap?
Your cycle for grease trap maintenance depends on several factors:
- 1) The size of the trap.
- 2) What the trap is collecting.
- 3) Local ordinances, regulations, and enforcement.
As a rule of thumb, most municipalities with pumping ordinances require that companies perform grease trap cleaning every 90 days. We’ve had customers who choose not to keep up with those regulations, but the law catches up with them eventually.
Small Grease Traps
Usually located in the kitchen, small traps tend to hold about 50 gallons or less. Depending on how much waste gets collected, 50-gallon traps should be cleaned more often than every 90 days.
Large Grease Traps
Larger traps are designed to hold up to 1000 gallons. These traps are often located outside of the building, generally in the parking lot. While larger traps tend to have longer maintenance cycles, it all depends on how much waste is going into the trap. Additionally, local government regulations require grease traps and interceptors to be properly maintained.
