Frequently asked questions
How often should a commercial grease trap be cleaned in La Jolla?
The cleaning frequency depends on the volume of FOG generated by your business. Generally, grease traps should be cleaned when 25% of their capacity is filled with FOG, which can range from monthly to quarterly for most establishments.

Any commercial establishment in La Jolla that prepares or serves food, such as restaurants, cafes, bakeries, hotels, and institutional kitchens, is typically required to install and maintain a grease trap.
Can I clean my grease trap myself to save money?
While some minor maintenance might be possible, professional grease trap cleaning is highly recommended. It ensures proper removal of all FOG, complies with La Jolla disposal regulations, and prevents potential damage or improper waste handling.
