Do you have a commercial kitchen? The local authorities require you to install a grease trap, for capturing all the grease coming in with the water that pours through the sink. This trap is a specialized tank that is installed between the kitchen plumbing and the sewerage systems to capture and hold fats, oils, and greases from the kitchen.

Recycling used cooking oil has many benefits, not only to the food establishments that generate the oil, but to the world as a whole. Every time a gallon of used cooking oil is repurposed, it means there is less waste going to the landfills. It also means that there is less risk of contaminating the water sources, and the environment as a whole.

By law, you are required to install a grease trap to capture all the FOG – fats, oils, and greases from your kitchen so that none gets to the sewerage system. But that is not all, because you are also required to properly maintain the FOG trap.
