MAINTENANCE
Regularly check the grease trap - the frequency will depend on the number of persons in the household and the
nature of kitchen wastewater but at least twice a year.

Empty the basket into your garden compost pile or bury under 100mm of soil or garden mulch.

Clean the grease trap:
•
Remove the lid, basket and baffles from the grease trap.
•
Using a scoop or paper towels, skim the layer of fats, oil and grease (scum) off the top of the
water and dump into a garbage bag (with absorbent material).
•
Scoop, pump or vacuum out water in the grease trap into a bucket.
•
Scrape off any remaining residue on the sides of the grease trap.
•
Scoop out all remaining solids on of the bottom of the grease trap and dump into the garbage
bag. Add more absorbent material if there is too much liquid in the bag.

Dump the water in the bucket back into the grease trap.
•
Dispose of waste in the garbage bag in a manner approved by your local authority.
