How to Clean a Grease Trap - Grand Natural Inc

 How to Clean a Grease Trap:

• Remove the lid from the grease trap. Remove it slowly and gently, so you don’t damage any of the gaskets on the lid.
• Stick a ruler into the grease trap and note how many inches of grease are in the trap. This needs to be written down and recorded in a FOG report provided by the EPA.
• Remove the water from your grease trap, either with a bucket or a small pump. Set this water aside.
• Start scooping out the grease from your trap. You can use another bucket, a shovel or other heavy duty scooper.
• Scrape the bottom, sides and lid to remove any excess grease. This will help you prevent quick buildups from debris you’ve knocked loose but haven’t yet removed.
• Scrub the same parts of your trap and flush the screens out.
• Pour the water from Step 3 back into your grease trap.
• Properly reinstall any removed parts and replace the lid.
