Everything your restaurant needs to know to stay compliant and pass health inspections.
State and local codes address grease interceptors and traps, but the details vary by utility and jurisdiction. Here's a practical starting point; confirm the rules for your facility with the applicable authority. Our regulations guide links to the official local and state sources.
A 25% accumulation point is a common planning benchmark in some Colorado FOG programs, not a single statewide rule. Actual thresholds and schedules vary by utility; many restaurants fall around 1–3 months, while high-volume kitchens may need monthly service. Use our pumping frequency calculator only as a planning estimate.
Record-retention rules vary by authority. Many programs ask operators to keep cleaning records for about 3 years and make them available during inspections; confirm the required period with your utility. Our cleaning service includes a report for your records.
Use an approved disposal facility and retain haul or disposal documentation. Utility and waste rules determine the applicable hauler requirements, so confirm them with the local authority.
Enforcement varies by municipality and utility. Possible responses include notices, corrective actions, surcharges, or other penalties; this page does not calculate fines. Confirm current enforcement provisions with the applicable authority.
