Grease Trap Cleaning in Trinidad

Doubles stands, roti shops, restaurants and bakeries all send oil and food scraps down the drain. A grease trap catches it, but only until it's full. After that the grease goes into your lines and your septic system. We'll connect you with a crew that pumps and cleans it, ideally on a schedule so it never backs up during service.

How often should a grease trap be cleaned?

It depends on the size of the trap and how much cooking you do. Busy kitchens may need it monthly or more often; a small café much less. A common rule of thumb is to clean it before grease and solids fill a quarter of the trap.

Keeping a busy kitchen flowing

  1. Wipe pots and plates into the bin before washing. Less grease in the trap means fewer cleanings.

  2. Never pour frying oil down the sink. Let it cool and bag it, or store it for collection.

  3. Set a regular cleaning schedule based on how busy you are, rather than waiting for a backup.

  4. Keep a record of each clean. It helps with planning, and with any inspection.

Questions

Grease Trap Cleaning: common questions

Can you clean the grease trap outside business hours?

Often, yes. Tell us your hours when you call and we'll try to book the truck before you open or after you close.

Do you set up regular service?

Yes. Once the crew has seen your trap, they can suggest a schedule and book it in advance.

Does grease affect my septic tank?

Yes. Grease that gets past the trap floats in the septic tank, adds to the scum layer and can clog the soakaway. Keeping the trap clean protects the whole system.
