Grease Trap Cleaning

All commercial cooking establishments in New York City are now required by law to have an operational grease trap for their food preparation activity. Proper maintenance and disposal of your grease trap is essential to the sanitary operation of your kitchen along with staying compliant with local and state regulations. Above all, our environment is kept clean and safe.

What Is A Grease Trap?

A grease trap is a device designed to capture and prevent grease from entering the plumbing system. These units vary in size and are usually placed in the kitchen area. A grease trap is a box that has a series of internal baffles. Water is allowed to pass through the trap while keeping grease and sludge contained. Like any “filtering system”, the contained grease must be periodically removed.
