Fats, Oils & Grease Control

Improperly disposed of fats, oils, and grease

Improperly disposed of FOG (Fats, Oils and Grease) can end up in public storm sewers and wastewater treatment plants. When FOG builds up in pipelines, it can solidify as hard as concrete.

improperly disposed of FOG can clog public pipelines

improperly disposed of FOG can cause overflows

This hardened buildup can partially or completely block the pipes and cause raw sewage backups or flooding.

This is one reason why more municipalities are exercising their authority regarding general pretreatment standards to establish and enforce more FOG regulatory controls.

How can food service establishments control FOG discharges?

Food service establishments can deploy a variety of best management practices to control and capture FOG material including:

Install interceptor/collector devices
Increase the cleaning of grease control devices
Increase the maintenance of grease control devices

Reduced odors
Reduced non-renderable waste grease generation
Avoid non-compliance fees or fines
