Grease trap maintenance

Grease trap cleaning & management

Trusted across Victoria for safe, efficient, and EPA-compliant grease trap services. We partner with hospitality and food processing businesses to ensure seamless operations and regulatory compliance.

In the hospitality and food manufacturing industries, managing Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) is a critical daily requirement. A poorly maintained grease trap doesn’t just cause foul odours, it leads to costly blockages, backflows, and significant regulatory fines.

Corio Waste Management provides professional, EPA-licensed grease trap cleaning and maintenance. Utilising our modern fleet of specialised vacuum tankers, we ensure that your kitchen’s drainage system remains clear, hygienic, and fully compliant with local water authority standards.

Why regular grease trap maintenance is essential

A grease trap (or grease interceptor) works by slowing down wastewater to allow FOG to float to the top and solids to sink. However, once the trap reaches approximately 25% capacity, its efficiency drops significantly.

Failure to maintain your grease trap can lead to:

  • Local water authorities require proof of regular servicing to maintain your trade waste agreement.
  • Slow-draining sinks and plumbing backups can bring a busy kitchen to a halt.
  • Overflowing grease can enter the stormwater system, causing pollution and resulting in heavy EPA penalties.
  • Accumulated organic waste produces rancid odours and can attract pests, compromising your kitchen’s hygiene standards.

We don’t just collect and dispose of your waste; we manage it ethically. At Corio Waste Management, we are committed to sustainability.

Once collected, your grease trap waste is transported to licensed treatment facilities. Here, the fats, oils, and grease are separated and processed. These materials can often be repurposed into biofuels or used for energy generation via anaerobic digestion, helping your business contribute to a circular economy.
