Grease Trap Installation
If you own a restaurant or food service business in NSW, a grease trap is not just important—it’s mandatory. Grease traps are designed to hold wastewater from your kitchen, allowing grease and oil to rise and separate, ensuring cleaner water flows to the sewer system. At All Day Plumbing, our expert team instals grease traps that comply with local regulations and enhance the efficiency of your kitchen operations.
Ensure your business is compliant and your plumbing system is efficient by choosing All Day Plumbing for your grease trap installation. Reach out to us today!
The Importance of a Properly Installed Grease Trap
A properly installed grease trap can prevent costly plumbing problems, such as blockages and backups, by trapping Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) before they enter the sewer system.
This not only protects your plumbing but also helps in maintaining environmental standards.
In Compliance with Relevant Standards
- Your Business’s Conditional Consent from Sydney Water Tap In (‘Apply to Discharge Trade Wastewater.’)
- Sydney Water’s Requirements for Grease Trap Installations
- Plumbing and drainage compliant with Plumbing Code of Australia, 2019.
- Pipe-work meeting AS/NZS 3500 for Plumbing and Drainage Standards
- Above grease trap installations must have a platform and steps manufactured to AS 1657:2018 (fixed platforms, walkways, stairways and ladders – Design, construction and installation) for safe access.
Types of Businesses That Require a Grease Trap
In NSW, installing a grease trap is a legal requirement for businesses that cook or serve hot food. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in hefty fines, operational disruptions, and potential closure of your business. A properly installed grease trap by All Day Plumbing ensures that you meet all local regulations, giving you peace of mind and allowing you to focus on what you do best—running your business.
In Sydney, all wastewater from food preparation areas, floor wastes, kitchen sinks, and dishwashers must be discharged directly into the grease trap.
Sydney Water Tap In
Before an installation for your retail food business or food processing plant, you must apply and be approved for a connection to discharge trade wastewater.
We can apply on your behalf with your permission. We do need the property owner or a managing agent on the property owner’s behalf to approve the application before we send it in. Once submitted, Sydney Water will make an assessment and send back an outcome within 21 days that provides details for what you must do to be able to safely and responsibly get connected.
This is also a Trade Waste Agreement, and it includes responsibilities for anyone or any company who connects, that continue after the grease trap installation, other pretreatment requirements, and the connection itself.

How Often Should Grease Traps Be Cleaned?
The cleaning frequency for your grease trap depends on its size and the amount of greasy wastewater your business produces. Sydney Water sets these guidelines and uses a system called Wastesafe (an electronic tracking system) to track grease trap waste.
Regular cleaning by an authorised Wastesafe transporter is crucial to prevent wastewater from entering the sewer, avoid overflows, and eliminate odours. During each service, the transporter will pump out the waste and clean the grease trap.
