Grease Trap Disposal: When is the Best Time?

Restaurants around the country understand the importance of having a clean kitchen. Great organization, along with daily cleaning and sanitizing practices are essential to keeping your business healthy and thriving. A clean kitchen truly makes for better food! One of the key ways you can keep your restaurant kitchen clean, efficient, and safe is through grease trap disposal services. These can help prevent unsanitary and even dangerous grease build up in your kitchen, and help keep your grease vents working properly. Here are some of the key advantages to performing grease trap disposal, and the ideal cleaning schedule you should follow.

 

How Often Should I Clean my Grease Trap?

 

The answer to this question largely depends on the food you are preparing. For example, your local burgers and fries restaurant might produce significantly more grease in a shorter amount of time than say, a sushi restaurant. The general rule of thumb is to clean your grease trap every 1-3 months, depending on the amount of fats, oils, grease, and solids (FOGS) you use on a daily basis.

 

Why Should I Clean my Grease Trap?

 

First and foremost, grease traps are mandated in several restaurant settings to avoid sewer backups and overflows from occurring. Since oils can cool and solidify on the exterior walls of your water pipes, they can quickly cause blockage and harm to your entire plumbing system if improperly dumped down the drain. Even worse, continuous build up and back ups could result in irreparable damage done to the entire sewer system—which no one wants to deal with! Properly disposing of these FOGS helps keep all parts of your kitchen healthy and safe from potentially catastrophic damage.
