Depending on your restaurant size, local regulations, and agreements with environmental laws there are different ways to go about cleaning your grease interceptors. Some municipalities require restaurants to hire an approved waste management company to pump out their grease traps and properly dispose of the waste. Some of these companies have local access to places to dump, some have the expense in travel to haul waste sometimes 100s of miles away. Other municipalities have their own municipal crews that handle grease trap cleaning for all establishments within their jurisdiction. Either way, your restaurant pays for these services, if you could greatly reduce the times the company needs to pump out your grease trap would you do it?
