Grease arrestors are engineered to collect solid and greasy waste from commercial kitchens to prevent this waste from entering the sewer system. As per your local council and trade waste licence, all grease arrestors are required to be pumped out on a regular basis. The frequency of service ranges from once a month to every six months, this is dependent on the size of the grease arrestor, the type of waste entering the trap and the working capacity of the kitchen. Grease arrestor sizes can vary from 250 to 5,000 litres.

Suttons offers regular services, including pumping and hosing out of the arrestor on a set frequency. Reports are submitted to DES (Department of Environmental & Science) and the Local Council to track the pump out. The waste is taken to a DES approved facility where it is biologically treated and composted. Grease arrestor services are usually carried out early morning before the premises open to avoid any interruption to your kitchen.

If you require further information on grease arrestors, please contact Suttons Cleaning Service or your local Council Trade Waste Officer.
