1. Can the Grease – Pour used cooking grease into an empty, heat-safe container, such as a soup can, and store it in the freezer. Once solidified, toss the can into the garbage.
2. Soak up – Remaining oils and grease with an absorbent material such as a paper towel and throw it into your garbage.
3. Scrape Your Plate – Wipe all pots, pans, dishes and cooking utensils with a paper towel prior to washing to absorb the grease.
To ensure compliance with the City’s Sewer Use Ordinance, all restaurants, food processing and/or serving facilities, or other industries with oil and grease-containing discharges shall install grease traps, interceptors, oil water separators and/or filter systems, sized and installed in accordance with the current Florida Plumbing Code. Grease traps, interceptors, and/or filter systems shall be cleaned once per month. Interceptors must be completely pumped out during cleaning.
