Scheduled Grease Trap Emptying & Waste Disposal in Sunderland

Grease trap emptying is the regular pump-out and cleaning of your commercial kitchen's grease trap or grease interceptor. This prevents fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from building up and causing blockages, odours, or non-compliance with water authority regulations.

For commercial kitchens in Sunderland, regular grease trap emptying is a legal requirement. Failure to maintain your trap can result in fines from your local water authority and costly emergency drainage repairs.

Grease trap emptying is part of our full grease trap cleaning service in Sunderland, which includes cleaning, inspection, and compliant waste disposal.

What's Included?

A professional grease trap emptying service includes:

  • Full pump-out – all FOG and wastewater removed
  • Trap cleaning – walls, baffles, and fittings scraped clean
  • Inlet/outlet check – pipes inspected for buildup or blockages
  • Compliant waste disposal – FOG removed and disposed of legally

FOG Disposal & Water Authority Regulations
