Grease traps are a necessary, if somewhat unsightly component of any restaurant or food preparation facility.  Non-soluble fat and grease are captured by a grease trap and prevented from entering the sewerage system. Regular maintenance to empty and clean grease traps is required by Health Regulations in each state and Capital City Waste Servicescan help with this process. Our vacuum tankers regularly collect grease pit waste and the trap areas are subsequently washed, scraped and deodorised. The traps are inspected to ensure that they are functioning properly and we also report any irregularities or anomalies. On arrival at our Collection Center, the waste is filtered and screened prior to separation of the sludge and water. The recovered greases and fats are converted to biosolids for disposal in landfill where it degenerates safely and the resultant treated water can be safely disposed of into the sewerage system.

Regular maintenance of grease traps it is advisable and to prevent problems it is important not to pour used cooking oil into the grease trap system. Used cooking oil can be segregated andstored for collection and recycling by Capital City Waste Services. We can provide suitable storage containers to recycle your used cooking oil which can be collected by Capital City Waste Services on a regular basis.
