Dump That in Your Grease Trap!

Proper and regular maintenance is critical to efficient grease trap operation. Odors, blockages, health risks and excess waste allowed into municipal sewers are all risks associated with poor upkeep and monitoring. Strict enforcement of community environmental codes can also result in fines levied on those who fail to stay on top of the waste they generate. Many municipalities have ordinances in place mandating a schedule for regularly pumping out grease traps, but additional maintenance is often desirable and even necessary.

Most kitchens either devote staffing duties to regular grease trap maintenance or hire independent contractors on a scheduled basis to monitor and maintain their traps to prevent buildup of harmful wastes. This is a necessary cost of doing business, but there are ways to minimize and control this cost by using biological additives.

Mean Green Holding Tank Treatment is ideally suited for this application. In addition to reducing harmful fats, oils and grease buildup in the traps themselves, Mean Green Holding Tank Treatment can help keep kitchen lines and sinks clean and fast-draining and free of odors.

These little bugs eat oil spills. Your grease trap is no problem.

Here is a recipe for cleaning restaurant grease traps using Mean Green Holding Tank Treatment:

1 liter bottle of Mean Green Holding Tank Treatment

4 gallons of water

1/2 cup of baking soda
