Grease trap cleaning in the Twin Cities

Add grease trap cleaning to your used cooking oil pickup and deal with one local provider.

Why grease traps need regular cleaning

A grease trap catches fats, oils, and grease before they reach the sewer. As it fills, it works less well, starts to smell, and can back up into your kitchen. Regular cleaning keeps the trap doing its job and helps you stay on the right side of local fats, oils, and grease rules.

Signs your trap needs service

How often a trap needs cleaning depends on its size, how much you cook, and local code. Many codes require cleaning before captured grease reaches a set fraction of the trap capacity, often one quarter.

Pair it with used cooking oil pickup

Kabu Grease delivers a free container for your used fryer oil, picks it up on a schedule, and pays you per gallon. Grease trap cleaning is available as an add-on alongside that service. Call (612) 562-8783 (call or text) or email kabugrease@gmail.com for a quote.

Used cooking oil vs. trap grease

Fryer oil (yellow grease) and trap grease (brown grease) are collected differently. You are paid for clean used cooking oil, while trap waste is a service. Read more on our yellow grease page.
