Frequently asked questions
How often should a commercial grease trap be cleaned in National City?
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 National City that prepares or serves food, such as restaurants, cafes, bakeries, hotels, and institutional kitchens, is typically required to install and maintain a grease trap.
