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.

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.

Restaurants and Cafes

From fast food to fine dining, restaurants and cafes generate large volumes of FOG from cooking and food preparation. Grease traps ensure kitchen wastewater is properly treated before entering the sewer system.

Hotels and Resorts

Hotels and resorts often have multiple dining facilities, including restaurants, bars, and banquet halls. The combined grease output from these various sources necessitates the installation of a grease trap system that can handle this load and maintain the property’s plumbing integrity.

Food Processing Plants

Food processing plants deal with various stages of food production that involve significant grease and oil discharge. Grease traps are necessary to manage the wastewater from these processes and prevent blockages that can disrupt production lines.

Bakeries

Bakeries produce grease from baking processes, especially when using butter, oils, and other fats. Installing a grease trap helps maintain a clean and efficient workspace by preventing grease from clogging the drains and affecting daily operations.

Catering Services

Catering services, whether operating from a central kitchen or at various event locations, generate substantial FOG waste. A reliable grease trap system ensures that caterers can focus on delivering exceptional service without worrying about plumbing issues.

Butcher Shops and Delis

Butcher shops and delis deal with animal fats and other grease-laden products. Grease traps help manage waste disposal effectively, preventing blockages and maintaining sanitary conditions within the establishment.

Supermarkets

Supermarkets with in-store delis, bakeries, and food courts generate considerable amounts of grease. Installing grease traps in these sections helps keep the entire store’s plumbing system functioning smoothly and avoids disruptions to business operations.

Bars and Nightclubs

Bars and nightclubs produce grease from food preparation and the disposal of liquid waste containing oils and fats. Grease traps help maintain a clean and safe environment for patrons and staff by preventing clogs and plumbing backups.

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.
