Grease Trap Cleaning

While it may sound like a good idea, it is not recommended for business owners or staff to clean grease traps themselves. Leave it to the professionals: grease trap cleaning involves handling potentially hazardous materials, and it requires specialized equipment and knowledge. You’re in good hands with ZTERS.

It’s a pretty simple process that we know very well at ZTERS. During a grease trap cleaning service, accumulated grease and solids will be pumped from the trap using vacuum trucks with specialized pumping equipment. Then, we will scrape the interior surfaces of the trap to remove grease buildup, inspect the trap for any issues or damage, and ensure proper functioning before disposing of the waste in accordance with local regulations.

Yes, there are often legal requirements for grease trap cleaning, so it’s important to hire a company like ZTERS that knows local regulations for the frequency of cleaning, proper disposal of waste, and documentation of cleaning records. It is crucial to comply with these regulations to avoid penalties or fines. You can rely on us!

Your team can minimize or prevent grease trap issues by using best practices in the kitchen between cleanings. Make sure to train your staff to avoid pouring fats, oils, and grease down sinks or drains. Encourage them to use strainers or grease traps on sinks and dishwashers to capture solid waste. Have them scrape plates and cookware into designated containers before washing. These easy but effective measures can help minimize the amount of grease entering the trap and reduce the risk of clogs or odors.
