General Information on Grease Traps
Grease traps and grease interceptors are an effective means of “trapping” the fats, oils and grease (FOGs) from kitchen sinks and dishwashers. If a grease trap is not serviced regularly, the amount of FOGs will accumulate beyond the levels of which the grease trap was designed. In those instances, the FOGs will clog the drain lines causing back-ups in the kitchen, resulting in expensive plumbing repairs and potential fines and penalties from local municipalities.
The primary cause of clogs and grease build-up in the municipal system is poorly maintained grease traps from food establishments. Many municipalities across the country are strictly monitoring the frequency and maintenance of grease trap servicing.
Green Mission Specialist, Whole Foods Market, MidAtlantic:
Whole Foods Market has been working with Greenlight Biofuels for over two years now and we couldn’t be happier. Their waste cooking oil recycling services have allowed us to support our mission of environmental stewardship. We’re happy that our oil is recaptured and made into biofuels for use in the local economy. We’ve also been very pleased with the level of service that Greenlight Biofuels provides. They are always on call and have been very responsive to any issues that have arisen. Greenlight is a great company to work with and we’re proud to be part of something so innovative.

It is not often the case that such excellent service is also beneficial for the environment.

We joined Greenlight Biofuels a while back and they have given us nothing but the best of services.

We will continue to recommend Greenlight Biofuels to all in need of a safe, reliable and easy disposal of their used oil.
Sodexo, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, VA:
Greenlight Biofuels has been a wonderful company with whom to work. They have offered top notch, friendly customer service with quick responses and have exhibited excellent follow-through on everything they said they would do. They handled the switch from our old pick-up company for us by scheduling pick-up of the old containers and cancelling services. They provide us with a nice, large, clean container for the oil and pick-up on a regular basis with no reminder calls needed by us. The Bank’s Facilities Management department is also pleased with the cleanliness and prompt pick-up schedule. I recommend Greenlight Biofuels without any reservations- it has been an enjoyable, seamless relationship.
