Compliance Assurance: Stay compliant with health and environmental regulations. We ensure your grease traps meet all local Auckland guidelines.
Regular cleaning of your grease trap is not just a regulatory requirement; it's a critical practice for maintaining a hygienic, efficient, and safe kitchen environment. Grease traps, designed to capture fats, oils, and greases (FOG) from your wastewater, can become less effective and even hazardous if not cleaned regularly. Over time, the accumulated FOG can lead to blockages, resulting in unpleasant odours, potential back-ups, and even costly plumbing disasters.
Moreover, a poorly maintained grease trap poses significant environmental risks, as the overflow can lead to pollution of local water systems. Regular cleaning minimises these risks, ensures compliance with health and safety standards, and maintains the overall efficiency of your kitchen operations. By prioritising grease trap maintenance, you protect your business from potential fines, operational disruptions, and damage to your reputation.

How often should the grease traps be cleaned?
The frequency at which grease traps should be cleaned varies depending on several factors, including the size of your establishment, the volume of food prepared, and the capacity of your grease trap. As a general guideline, it's recommended that businesses clean their grease traps every 1-3 months. However, for high-volume establishments like large restaurants or commercial kitchens, more frequent cleaning may be necessary, possibly as often as once a month or even more frequently.
Regular monitoring of your grease trap's condition is crucial. Signs that it's time for a cleaning include slow drainage, unpleasant odours, and visible grease accumulation. It's also important to comply with local regulations and guidelines, which may dictate specific cleaning schedules.
In addition to regular cleaning, implementing best kitchen practices, such as wiping plates before washing and properly disposing of cooking oils, can reduce the strain on your grease trap and extend the time between cleanings. Remember, maintaining a regular cleaning schedule not only ensures compliance with health and environmental regulations but also prevents costly repairs and maintains the efficiency of your kitchen operations.
