A grease trap is a plumbing device designed to intercept non-petroleum fats, oils, and greases before they enter the wastewater system. When wastewater from sinks and kitchens flows into the grease trap, the heavier solids settle at the bottom, while lighter fats and oils rise to the surface. This separation prevents clogging in pipes and reduces environmental impact. Regular maintenance is essential to keep the grease trap functioning effectively.

Understanding how grease traps work is crucial for any business in the food industry to ensure compliance and promote sustainability.

Yep, this is what pipes look like when you put cooking oils down the sink 🤢

Fats, oils and grease should never go down the drain. When they hit the cool water in your wastewater pipes, they harden.

They then combine with other waste like wet wipes to form hard blockages known as 'fatbergs'.

These blockages can cause overflows which can be a health and environmental nightmare, with wastewater backing up and overflowing into homes, backyards and local waterways.

What’s more, you could be looking at an expensive plumbing bill to fix a blocked drain.

To avoid this happening to your pipes:
♻️ Scrape food leftovers into the bin or compost.
🧻 Wipe greasy pans and dishes with a paper towel before washing up.
🗑 Pour used oil or fatty liquids (like old milk) into a container and put it in the bin.
🚰 Use a sink strainer to catch small pieces of food.
