Rendering Plant Redux Grease Trap Cleaning & Recycling Service What is a grease trap?

. A grease trap is a plumbing device that captures the Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) and food solids from wastewater streams and prevents them from entering the sewer system. . All restaurants and commercial food establishments must have one or more properly working grease traps installed on their premises. How a Grease Trap Works Grease clog costs city $500,000 Restaurants suspected of dumping grease down the drain have created a $480,000 repair bill for the city. Late last month, city crews discovered a major blockage in a sewer main under the Lansdowne Road corridor near Gilbert Road. The main serves a large area of City Centre, home to many of Richmond’s eateries. City spokesperson Ted Townsend said crews tried to unclog the grease by boosting pipe pressure by five times, but to no avail. When crews opened up the line, they pulled out a “grease log”—a solid chunk of discarded oil and fat.

“The main was ruptured because it was completely blocked with grease,” said Townsend. “The damage was considerable, which is why they’re having to actually replace that whole section. It’s essentially because of grease buildup.”
